So I survived finals week! barely. finals and migraines don't mix well but I survived and the past is in the past. After finals finished up we had a free day in the city before heading to Jordan. For the free day I headed to West Jerusalem in the morning and did some exploring around the town there. West Jerusalem is a really nice part of town that has some fun Jewish stores. We then headed to the Hurva Synagogue, made a stop at the Western Wall and ended the day at the Temple Institute. It was a day full of all sorts of Jewish activities. I loved the Temple Institute. I went there on my first free day here but I literally knew nothing about Jerusalem at the time so everything was so new to me. It was really amazing to go back with all the new knowledge that I have gained throughout my time here. Everything just made so much more sense!
I love all the cultures here in Jerusalem! It is such a mixture of people and cultures here and it's so fun to learn about more about them all. Just within the Old City part of Jerusalem you can visit the Jewish Quarter, Christian Quarter, Armenian Quarter and Muslim Quarter. Jerusalem has opened my eyes!
