Classy Cats

Last night was easily the classiest night of my life. We were such classy cats. I went on a "double date" with Brian, Ariella, and Aaron to the Jerusalem Jazz concert!! It was really cheap and in an outdoor theatre in the park. It was quite crowded but we had really comfortable seats and we could see perfectly and the acoustics were great and the music was just fantastic. Three different groups went on in the two hours that we were there, and they were all different and so talented. Ariella translated a few of the songs for me, which was really nice, and there was just a general atmosphere of fabulosity. What a perfect way to spend a Wednesday night.

To wrap it up, I went to a sups sophisticated bar off King George Street (right by the Fuchsberg Center) with a few gentlemen from the program. I didn't have anything to drink but it was still very enjoyable with the company and ambiance etc.

Today we had so much CLASS. Hebrew class for four hours, Jlem class for three hours. We are legit speaking hebrew now though. It's amazing. Like magic. Or a miracle. And in Jlem class, we went to the Israel museum to talk about the Second Temple Period and look at the model city and the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Also, to address the second part of the title, there are just cats EVERYWHERE. I am loving it of course, but it's sad because some are a bit malnourished and sick but they are so cute and I love the kittens.

Tonight we have dinner (achshav) and a 9/11 memorial program of some sort and then we're going out on the town (hopefully it won't seem inappropriate to go dancing after the memorial service because Friday is the only day of the week we're allowed to sleep in past 6:30!!)

Lihitraot!!!
