So, it's been a long day. Er... two days. Got up at 6 in the morning (MDT) and slept about one hour on the plane. It's now 9:40 Jerusalem time. Also, almost bedtime, gotta be up early tomorrow to get to know the city.
The plane rides went very slickly. All on time, early even, no hiccups. From Salt Lake to New York I sat next to a guy who claimed that the aliens who are working to make the world run how it should are going to finally succeed this month, after 35 years of trying, to get rid of the IRS and the Federal Reserve. Then social security will go, and we will all have do-everything ID cards. And the lies that are power lines will be replaced by zero-point energy.
Got into Israel on time and went on the hour-long bus ride to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv. There was amazing scenery. Along the road there were blown-up trucks and things that were left as a monument to the '48 war.
The view from the Center is amazing. Every room has a great view of the Dome of the Rock. Every so often we hear the Muslim call to prayer, which is especially cool now that it's Ramadan. They do extra singing, extra loudly.
We met some of our teachers today, they all seem really fun. Tomorrow we go and get to know the city. It looks like it will be a blast.
