Well, we made it to Jerusalem! There was a point in our travels where I didn’t know if we would catch our flight from Atlanta to Tel Aviv. We chose Delta as our provider, as they were the least expensive. Our flight from ICT to Atlanta was scheduled to depart at 5:15pm CST. It arrived at 6:45, which left no layover time in Atlanta. We ran the distance of the airport as they were calling our names over the intercom. We made the flight, however not all of our bags made it. They will be mailing our lost bag tomorrow when it arrives in Israel.

We took a Nesher taxi bus from the Tel Aviv airport to Jerusalem. We ended up, at of pure coincidence, sitting next to member of our Israel program on the bus. After we arrived at our apartment, we met the other participants that arrived early. We went out for dinner and drinks that night.

This morning, we took a stroll through our neighborhood to Ben Yehuda Market.
