Now I am catching up with this blog - if you want to see pictures of the place I'm staying, go to www.sgcjerusalem.com the website for St. George's College.
Today it rained! and was cooler. Several of us set out to try the bus system - which the local population seems to use effortlessly. It's 6.2 NIS for a ride and a transfer. I went to Yad Vashom, which is the Holocaust Museum. Striking architecture that helps tell the story, lots of photos and information - and saddness and remembrance. I spent about 4 hours; there were seats in most rooms and it was a meditation time.
Then I ventured out further west in the steep hills to see Chagall windows at the big hospital - and they were closed during construction - a disappointment. So I wandered back via a different bus and ended getting off when it seemed to veer in the "wrong" direction. Within 10 minutes I encountered others from my group, and we happily traipsed through a chic shopping mall with lots of contemporary outdoor art - and headed back to the college. Great supper, fine conversation! Hope all is well with you too! Now resting my feet.
