Shalom from Eretz Israel!
I'm here in Israel! We finally arrived on Saturday night (Israel time). So far our stay has been very busy. We started on Sunday with orientation and class. Shabbat (the Sabbath) is on Saturday, so Sunday is just another day. Last night we went into Jerusalem for the first time just for fun. It is an incredible city. It has two main sections: the New City and the Old City. We walked around the Old City and got a taste of some of the culture. Today was the first official field trip walking around Jerusalem and the City of David (the first Jerusalem under Jewish control). Here are a few pictures!
The president of Poland (in the tan)- We ran into him at the Western Wall!
The Judean Hills- View from the Moshav
The Dome of the Rock
Near the Western Wall
The Pool of Siloam- Where Jesus healed the blind man
The Mount of Olives
Overlooking Jerusalem

Greeting from your Uncle Mike! I was so happy to see the pictures of you in Jerusalem!
Well, your birthday has come and gone. Happy late birthday. I finally got your address in Israel from Rachel (no thanks to your mother who was supposed to e-mail it to me).
We'll be praying for you
Very, very cool!!! I can't wait to see more of the pics as you update the blog. I look forward to living vicariously through you as you travel through Israel. We love and miss you.
