So now I have an official blog. This is all about my studies in Israel. Most of the time I will be staying in Jerusalem but will be taking overnight excusions to Galilee and Jordan. You are invited to follow me as I experience this famed land. I can't promise I will be politically correct but will try to avoid extremism. I have had to pass many preliminaries to get this far. Admittance to Jerusalem University College, fees, permission from my work to be gone five weeks, airline tickets, physicals, concerns about terrorism, and purchasing desert clothes. I'm not departing for four months but I can't imagine being more wired for a trip...
