Here are some new pictures for your enjoyment. I'm hoping to have tons more after I go to the Old City tomorrow afternoon.

The view from the window in my room. Although it's not the Old City, it's also not a brick wall.



Here's some kessef (money). Funny story. I spent my first in Jerusalem without any shekels. I couldn't find anywhere to change my money over and the ATM wouldn't take my card. Luckily the mall we went to had a place to change money over and I ended up spending a fortune calling my bank back in the US to tell them that my card was being used overseas. All that to say that I know have access to money while I'm over here.


Now for a few pictures of the apartment. Hopefully you can get an idea of what it's like.

The meetbach (kitchen)


The hedar sha-li (my room). You'll have to PhotoMerge these together in your mind.



That's all I have for now. More to come later. Just a side note, foreign outlets are such a pain. I foolishly plugged my alarm clock into and adaptor and then the wall and in about five minutes is over heated and was dead. Needless to say I learned from that experience and bought an Israeli alarm clock.

Take Care.

  1. Yes, my electric razor suffered the same fate in Nam as your alarm clock. Sad day. Nice diggs by the way. And yo skrills look tight. If you ever need a gift idea for your old Base Camp guide I happen to be a coin collector (wink wink hint hint).
