Falawesome

Time is moving by so fast here. Let's see, other students said they have been able to upload pictures so I might try to do that soon because there is one of me holding a baby lamb that is just too dang cute not to post. Our first field trip was Monday and we got to go to a bunch of different sites around Jerusalem to get us more familiar with the city. One of the places we went was the Elias Monastery and we met a real shepard and got to hold a baby sheep. Guess it was a good thing I didn't bring my lambchop from home after all, huh Mom. We also got to go to Augusta Victoria cathedral, Nabi Samwil and Haas Promenade. Pics would be ideal in a situation like this, guess I'll just have to captivate everyone with my words. They were really cool....and pretty. That was good right? No really, I'll try to get some pics on here. Also, I started Hebrew today and this class has a very good probability of being my favorite class. I already know a Hebrew song. How great is that. Also I ate my first falafel in the Old City today, and I would like to call it falawesome. That was also the name of my 3v3 basketball team which....didn't win a single game. But we had fun. And we played basketball in the Holy Land. So we're all winners in the end. I start my modern near eastern studies class from a Palestinian teacher and a modern near eastern studies class from an Israeli teacher tonight and I'm way excited. I'm already learning so much so fast, it's amazing. I wish they taught kids in the U.S. more about this stuff because it's really important and we are so ignorant of it. Pues....that's all for now. Shalom.
