Jerusalem, see?
I'm actually not sure how.
Scratch that. I remember.
Adam posted it on our BYUJC Fall '11 page.
It's marvelous.
And I might've spend a good little while (20 minutes?) "walking" from the Western Wall all the way home, up the hill, to the Jerusalem Center.
I never thought I'd say this BUT, I miss that walk.
And I miss this view.
That would indeed be a screenshot of a street view on googlemaps.
I love technology.
:)
Seeing all my Jerusalem friends this past weekend made me miss that place, a whole lot.
I also stalked all my Jerusalem pictures the other day. Bad idea.
ALSO.
I stumbled upon this blog post.
Almost made me cry.
I miss that place. A whole heck of a lot.
(And the author of that blog was one of our speakers at one of our Forum Addresses. He was great.)
I need a Jerusalem fix. Fast.

Happiness.
Today was a good day.
I reinstated my Chacos tan. (What took me 4 months in Jerusalem I restored almost completely during 1 day in Mexico.)
Wandering the streets and having a free afternoon. Especially since we had a good (i.e. small) group. Plus, somehow, Kayla and I lucked out and had 3 (and then 4) men in our group. And there are only 7 on the tour...
The best part though was walking through the market. Which reminded me a little bit of the Shuk (still don't know how to spell that word... shuq? shuk?). And sometimes, it smelled just like the Old City. And everytime I got that familiar whiff, I would just start smiling. :)
I miss the days we spent walking through Jerusalem. I guess walking through various towns in Mexico is close enough.
Minus the Hebrew, Arabic, Dome of the Rock, the Jerusalem Center and the dreaded hike through up the Kidron Valley.
While on the bus today, I also found myself singing (in my head) the Hebrew alphabet. So great. :)
I think I have a new schooling plan in the works and I'm excited to see if I can pursue it. :)
Until next time.
