I'm starting to blog about my trip to Israel because 1. I'm jealous that Jess and Carolina have blogs and 2. It's easier than trying to convince my professors that my daily emails to Jared count as a "trip journal."  It's a few days into the trip so to get you up to speed I'm going to repost my emails to Jared which detail the first few days of the trip.  Please leave comments and enjoy!
