So I have arrived safely in the Holy Land, our flights went smoothly. Only half of the group arrived today, the ones who flew through JFK are still currently stuck there because of the tornadoes. So I am happy that I was not on their flight. So here is a quick run down of what it has been like here.
The Jerusalem Center is beautiful and we have a million dollar view of the Old City and the Dome of the Rock. The architecture is really unique and our rooms are spectacular. We enter from the outside and we have a huge balcony overlooking the city. Tomorrow we are taking a walking tour of the city and I cannot wait to get out and see all of the sights
We met with our professors today and I am really excited about my classes. This semester I am enrolled in Old Testament, Ancient Near Eastern Studies, Arabic, Arabic and Islamic Studies, Jewish Civilization, and Field Trips. We are taught by a Jewish professor and a Palestinian. It will be nice to get different viewpoints from people who actually live the religion and lifestyle.
Well I am exhausted and we have a big day tomorrow so I will keep you updated as best as I can. We aren't allowed to post pictures, so I am sorry to disappoint any of you.
