Random Wanderings

Hi everyone!

Over the last couple of days, I have been busing to an area of Jerusalem called Emek Refaim, and the German Colony.  The area is very nice - lots of shops and places to eat!! Those who know me know that in Toronto, I really liked Booster Juice.  Well, I am happy to announce that I have found a suitable replacement here in Israel. It is called re:bar! Unfortunately I do not know how many locations they have - I am only aware of the one in Emek Refaim, which is about a 40 minute bus ride away from my dorm. Oh well!

Today I was fortunate enough to go on a tour of the Western Wall Tunnels - it was so cool!! The Western Wall extends well north of the current "famous" Western Wall, and it was so cool to be able to explore this area on a tour!  This is not for the claustrophobic or tall people.   The tunnels are pretty narrow, and have very low ceilings!

That's all for now!
