Day 3

Things took a turn for the brighter this evening as we just found ourselves a place to stay for the month of August. We have been living in a temporary studio unit (at 41 King George) for the past several nights but will be kicked out tomorrow morning. Luckily, this new place came through right in the nick of time. Here's a photo of our current view from the temporary apt:



This is looking northwest from King George Street toward Yeshurun synagogue and Shumue Hanagid Street. Ben Yehuda street - which is closed to traffic and is infamous for its many shops and cafes - is a few blocks north of this intersection.

Anyway, after we get settled in tomorrow, we plan on taking a tour of the old city, the wall, etc. - should be pretty cool on t'sha b'av. Also, I plan to take a video of the place which we'll be in during August, look for that post in the next couple of days.

Jerusalem is a busy and hot place, and we're definitely learning something new every day.
