Tuesday, March 8th

Today is rainy and stormy; the first such day I have had in the almost 2 weeks of being in Israel.  Therefore, there won’t be any walking in the city today and instead, after checking out around noon, I will spend the rest of the time catching up on some reading and projects that will be due on Friday.  I certainly have been so fortunate with having absolutely beautiful weather throughout my stay in Israel.  According to the people at the hotel, they are expecting rainy days through at least Friday and much cooler weather with snow in the mountains.  My visit to Israel has been truly outstanding.
