In Jerusalem

I'm currently in an internet cafe in the old city in Jerusalem. My flight was uneventful but much to long. After six hours I was ready to come down.

It's weird being here. The city hasn't changed that much but being here as a tourist is a lot different from living here. There's so much to pack in. Yesterday we made it to the Western Wall and the church of the Holy Sepulchre. Today our jet lag kicked in and we didn't make it out until...let's just say it was late.

My cousin and I have gotten into about 3 "discussions" on culture, the Israeli state, the place of women, etc. These often involve yelling but end well.

Today we're going to try to make it to the mount of olives.

I'll try to post when I can.
