So today proved to be a little more exciting, but we still had to sit through orientation and getting our ID's and stuff. Around 3:30 we went on a photo scavenger hunt and had to tour around old Jerusalem. It's amazing how you can walk through the old city and see ruins everywhere of old structures and pillars that existed before. Much of the old city in built on ruins from Jerusalem long ago. It was fun seeing the market and spending time touring. The funniest part of this scavenger hunt is that it exposed us even more as tourists than we already are. People were staring at us constantly and many would walk away laughing as we took our pictures witht the various poses and such on our list. I had to exchange my money today from Canadian to Shekels and I ended up with a good exchange rate, 300 Canadian turns into 800 shekels. Anyways there is a bonfire tonight on Campus, which will be fun, then my first full day in Israel will be complete.
