Made it

Well I made it to the campus after a 11 hour plane to Tel Aviv and a 30 minute bus ride from there to Jerusalem. We were welcomed to the campus with these words, "Welcome to M0unt Zion". Our campus backs up to the wall of the Old City of Jerusalem. The location is amazing and I have to say I can not wait to explore the many nuances of the Old City.
In total there about 45 students that live in this complex. I have two roommates in a room that looks like it can hold six at most. I have a lot of room and our door opens up into the campus garden. The grounds and the buildings are so beautiful and old. It feels like I not only traveled thousands of miles, but traveled through time.
Well after a sleepless night on an airplane I am pretty worn out but I will be sure to take pictures later because a picture is worth a thousand words and that would save me a lot of time writing.

Before I leave

Well over the past few weeks people have been asking me if I will have a blog during my time studying abroad in Israel. I have been telling them all that I probably won't, but I have finally folded under the pressure. Here is my blog where I will try to record the interesting things that I see and experience throughout my several months at Jerusalem University College. I am not sure of the work load during the semester and I don't know how much free time I will have. The amount of my blog entries will depend on those two factors. I guess we will see what happens.

My flight leaves at 9:15 PM, the 26th and will take 11 hours. I fly from Philadelphia, directly to Tel Aviv. I will update again when I arive in Israel.

So to the people who requested this blog I hope I can live up to your expectations and keep you interested in my travels
