عيد ميلاد سعيد

So the title means happy birthday in arabic :) It was such a great birthday!

The birthday gear courtesy of the parentals for the very special select few (Brennan, Ashley, Mark, Tucker, Megan and I) made for a great 20th birthday celebration. I honestly had such a great day and felt so loved! In the cafeteria, they sang to me also in every class haha so I got sung to about 7 times. Then everyone wrote me birthday notes. It was great :) Sam and Meredith even made me a cake!

Between classes, we had a few hours so a group of us went into the city to just walk around and explore a little more. We met yet another merchant who loves us and made all the girls rings for free and had us all dress up as arabs...pictures to come.

After class and dinner 15 of us hit up west jerusalem since that is the only place we are alowed to go after dark. We took a party taxi there! Singing american songs on the radio and rocking out to Sterling beat boxing...our driver was entertained to say the least. First stop, we went to Josh (one of our faculty's sons) flag football game and cheered hard core and they won! Birthday magic in action!

Second stop, we hit up the main street called Ben Yahuda street and stopped for Gelato. So good :)

Literally I am having the time of my life here. I miss you all and I hope you are having a great time as well. Thanks for all the birthday wishes and emails. I love getting them and hearing what is going on. 

That is all.

Your newly 20 year old,

Jen
