First Shabbos

Shabbos was excellent. It was really great to see my cousins (and finally see the apartment I have heard so much about.)
It's going to be very helpful to have them to fall back on for shabbos if I have a hard time.

On friday I hung out with C. Aronof who is a madrich at a yeshiva now. I also ran into S. Stern on shabbos in shul who just made aliyah and is working in accounting in Tel Aviv.

It looks like I have more friends in Israel than I had thought.

On shabbos I also walked to the kosel for the first time. (Wanted to go on shabbos so I wouldn't have tear shirt.) Same as I remember- although some renovations here and there. (As well as big archeological digging.)

All in all excellent shabbos - Yerushalayim is awesome.
