Shabbat :)

I forgot to mention in my last post that on Thursday I saw something really cool: there was a package left unattended on Hillel Street, and the police had to come, block of the street, and blow up the package.  It was really cool.  They put this black box thing over the package so it was a controlled explosion so I couldn't really see anything, but it sounded like a bomb (not that I've ever heard a bomb explode before but it was really loud and sounded like what a bomb sounds like in movies).

Anyway, so Friday night I went to Shirah Chadasha and then at the end when they asked if anyone needs dinner, my friend Michelle and I went up and went to this lady's house.  She had a lot of guests.  2 of them were actually her friends (one of them is a professor at the Rothberg School at Hebrew U where I go, but she doesn't teach any freshman classes), then there was Michelle and me, a blind guy, an Israeli guy, a medical technician, and this guy who just made aliyah for the second time and isn't really doing anything right now.  The food was delicious and there was a lot of interesting conversation.  When we got home, I hung out with friends for a little and then went to bed.

Saturday morning Jake and I took his mom's friend, Kim, who is in Israel for about a week, to Shirah Chadasha.  I ate lunch at Beit Nativ, played blokus for a little, and then took a 4 hour nap (I really needed that).  At 7, Kim took us to see this light show at Migdal David, and it was possibly the most amazing thing I have ever seen.  The show told the story of the history of Jerusalem.  There were no words, just these 3D holographic images that spanned the whole entire wall, which is huge and castle-like.  It's really hard to explain how amazing it was.  My mom and sister can tell you when they get back from Israel in January because I am definitely taking them to the light show.  After the light show, Kim took us out for a really nice dinner at this restaurant called Hachatzer.  After we walked Kim back to her hotel, I just hung out and then went to bed, because we got back really late.

So far today all I've done is wake up, so I'll stop here.
