Hey everyone, short update. We got back from Jordan today, I'll put some pictures up soon!
In case you haven't seen the news (or in case you have), there was a shooting in West Jerusalem about 2 hours ago. A Palestinian gunmen killed at least 7 people (according to bbc, cnn and fox they all say different things, it just happened so no one knows)in a dining room of a Jewish seminary in Jerusalem. Things are really hot right now here in response to what is going on in Gaza. Two Isreali soldiers were killed a few days ago and more than 100 Palestinians have been killed during the recent Israeli operation to stop rocket attacks from Gaza. When we got home from Jordan today there were signs posted saying East Jerusalem was closed for us until further notice. Now I wonder if we'll be able to go into West Jerusalem. I'm pretty sure Eilat (snorkeling trip) is still on for tomorrow. This is such a tumultous area it makes me think, what if I've already had my last time in the Old City, have I seen everything I want to see? It could be a while til we get to go back. I may have a lot of time in the center to write on my blog and study for class. I'll update you soon. Gotta go to bed we leave for Eilat at 5:30 am!
Love, Em
