Jerusalem of Gold

My blog will now have somewhat of a different focus.

I just arrived in Jerusalem to begin a year of Judaic studies here. I am on a break from accounting so this space will no longer be a forum for angry accounting rants. (I did, however, bring my "accountant with personality" t-shirt (see Nov 14 post) just to ensure that I don't stray too far from my roots.

I'll try to post on the blog as often as possible with updates, stories and thoughts from Israel.
It's a pretty amazing place so I'm sure I'll have no trouble finding material.

Also, now that I have a digital camera, I can start adding some pictures to the blog too.

Here's just a couple so far...

1 of the many booths at the Israel Museum Wine Festival. 50 shekels gets you unlimited wine tasting... Needless to say, it was a fun night.

A man sleeping inside his cart at the Jaffa Gate. I had to be discreet when taking the photo because I didn't want his friends to yell at me.

Ami in the shuk. We had some good Indian food. (the white spot in his beard is yogourt).

That's it for now.
