I'm HERE!

Helloooooo. I survived getting from the airport in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem!

I am writing from the YMCA in Jerusalem. Why? Because it's the only place I could find that has a computer, not just WI-FI. Anyway, I found the place where I am staying... it's a vacation apartment in a neighborhood called Yemin Moshe. It's very close to the King David Hotel and about 5 minutes walking from Hebrew Union College (which is where the cantorial school is).

The flights were long but not so bad. I watched the movie Music and Lyrics 3 times. And Bridge to Terabithia once. I guess I forgot that the little girl DIES. I've even read the book. No one likes crying on airplanes. (Abby, it was A Perfect Storm all over again).

Anyway, I'm going to go back to the apartment and lie down for awhile. I feel really good about the neighboorhood where I am staying and will venture out a little further tomorrow. For now, I'm going to take a time out this afternoon and try to adjust to the time difference.

This is going to be really great. Really, really great.
I miss you.
