Jerusalem was not a city built to drain

The rainy season has begun. O boy has it. There have been some serious rainstorms as of late. Yesterday was one REALLY bad one. I get back after Hebrew because my second class was canceled and it was just drizzling, and I had planned to go for a run, rain or shine. By the time I got downstairs and ready to go, it was a MONSOON, and it was amazing. I went for a run, and after about five minutes, I was completely soaked. I mean every ounce of my clothing was soaking.

It was however a really good run, and while Jerusalem stone is usually very slippery, it could be because of my Vibram FiveFingers, but I didn't even slip once, and I was even stepping in puddles that were up to my knees. It was interesting though. I went through this outdoor mall, and then ran around the Old City for about an hour. The fun thing about running in the old city without contacts though, is that you have no idea where you are going, so I was literally just turning left or right whenever it felt right. Best part about that, I even gave directions to some people...IN HEBREW!!!

Also, midterms are this week, so that isn't too much fun, but in general, everything is awesome. Sorry for the long break in posts, more to follow soon.
