Hello my dearest readers! I’m so happy to be in Tel-Aviv. I’ve been here for a week! I know it sounds cray cray but I almost didn’t make it here because of the Hurricane Sandy. It’s a good thing Delta didn’t cancel my flight (praise Moses, praise Jesus, praise Allah, praise Miuccia Prada) otherwise I’d be homeless in New York City. My apartment was smack right on Zone A and I’ve received word from my landlord that electricity went out for a week. Yaddi, yaddi, yadda. Expect a few Tel-Aviv & Israeli-related blog posts from me over the next few days. I’m excited to share to you some great memories I made in this fun city!

After spending a few days in Tel Aviv, I went on a quick day trip to Jerusalem. It was a whirlwind tour of the Old City and its religious quarters — Jewish, Muslim and Christian. I definitely want to come back very soon and hopefully, not in a tour group. Two hours is simply not enough to leisurely enjoy the very many sights.
