Greetings from the Holy Land

After a long day of travel with some delay in Minneapolis, I made it to Israel. There were thunderstorms in New York that prevented me from arriving until after my connection to Tel Aviv was to have departed. Fortunately, the flight was delayed.

We took off about 5 hours late, which meant we arrived in Tel Aviv very close to the start of the Sabbath, when everything shuts down. We were able to get a taxi (and practice a bit of Hebrew with the driver) to Kibbutz Tzuba, and get into our room.

So, the adventure has begun! The language course will start tomorrow evening. In the meantime, my roommate (a colleague from the COHELET project) and I will explore the kibbutz and acclimate to the time difference. I'll post some pictures later as well.
