Is this real life!?

I am finally here in Jerusalem, safe and sound at the college! It was a crazy couple of days but it was all so worth it! This city is AMAZING. Seriously, it's awesome. It's just as modern and busy as any US city but it looks completely different and old fashioned at the same time. It was insanity trying to get through the city though, traffic and people everywhere. From my window I can look out into the garden of the college and beyond into the new city of Jerusalem. The school itself it right outside the wall of the old city, on Mt. Zion. Just walking next to the wall to get up to the school was so cool, and there is a festival happening with lights and music everywhere. It doesn't even feel real that I am here right now! Now it's off to bed and then a lecture and an Old Testament Jerusalem walk tomorrow!
