It's been a long day of travel and airports, all to arrive in this hot desert city. I'm sure you want to hear all about Jerusalem, to know what my first impression is, to know what I think of the Center. Unfortunately, I want to know those things too! The warm city I am sleeping in tonight is not Jerusalem, but Phoenix, Arizona! One of our flights was cancelled, and so fifty or so of us are temporarily roosting here until flights can be found to move us on our way. So, until I can post about Jerusalem, I will highlight the best parts of living in a hotel on the airline's bill. (Two meals a day so far and all hotel costs are theirs, and not just for our group, but also for at least thirty other travelers, international and otherwise, who missed their connections as well.)
But, so far everyone has been so kind, cheerful, and patient! It's amazing, but we're all pretty relaxed about what is happening, despite the fact that of course we all long to be in Jerusalem. It's awesome to be with this group, who all seem to be caring, easy-going people. At least we will have lots of bonding time!
All is well, and I'll keep an update.
Onward and Upward,
Cali
