The City Athens
My first full day in Athens; I better see the city I'm staying in. The only thing I've been told to do by anything was from my dad, who told me to go to St. George's on top of Lykovotos Hill. But first I needed a guide book (love me some bookstores) and had heard of a Jewish museum for Greek Jewry. Figures it would be closed for Pesach.

The Old Athens
My hostel is in Monastriaki in Central Athens, only about 40 meters from a large square with a few cafes, a church, a main metro station and, appropriately for capitalism, a McDonald's.

Herete from Athens!
Ahh, chofesh. How I love thee. This time around, instead of going to New York city to look at schools, I've got somewhere a bit closer, a bit more exotic, and a bit warmer.

It's a giant transition, an eternalinternal struggle living among people having their own, it's perfect. I'm in the process of figuring out ( Read more... ) -
Even My Sure Things Fall Through
יש לי בעיה. I commit myself to updating, I even craft sample entries in my head. I mean, who doesn't? But when it comes down to actually righting it down? Not so much. I think it's safe to say I've distanced myself from Livejournal. It's still tethered to be like an astronaut, but it's pretty long rope. It seems to span halfway 'round the world.

Kibbitz from kibbutz...
I'm ending my first week back on the Carmel program and my first week on Kibbutz Lotan. I'd come up with some entry laden with hipster-language, but honestly.. I'm not that up for it right now.
Bullet points:
Actually, I don't feel like updating at all right now. Deal with it...
