photos galore

Two posts in one day! Imagine that. Just wanted to put up some pictures of the apartment as I have gotten many requests. Also a few from today, just walking around the neighborhood and Mahane Yehuda, the outdoor shuk or market. Tons of fresh food and other cool things.

Despite being exhausted and overheated, today was a great day. We decided to mostly take it easy and just walk around for a few hours, but I was able to eat my first falafel (!!!) and see lot's of religious men - I assume eventually I will get used to all of the black coats and hats, but it may take a few days. I also am finding myself pretty frustrated with how little Hebrew I can actually speak. I feel like I have a pretty good foundation from the two terms that I took at Carleton, but these Israelis speak so quickly! And I get nervous. All the more motivation to really buckle down during Ulpan (the month of intensive Hebrew language starting on August 5th). I really am determined to leave here fluent in Ivrit, so I definitely have my work cut out for me. Aaaanyway, enjoy the photogs!
