Letter home

I don't want to write it all over again, so here is some recent scoop, from a email I wrote to my Grandparents.

Dear Nana and Papa,
Turkey was absolutely Amazing!!! It did snow/blizzard one day, so it was harder to tour and there were one or two sites we had to skip. All in all we saw gorgeous mosques and the Hagia Sophia and shopped/haggled at the Grand Bazaar and spice bazaar, which was a lot of fun. Nana would have loved it. Lots of great jewelry and scarves and bags. I bought a necklace, a bag, a bracelet, and a headband. Ill post pictures of my treasures. I just got back an hour ago and went to the market to stock up on food, so now I am posting pictures online. Look in a few hours at my blog www.mayanimmotek.blogspot.com and I will post links to all of my photos so you can get the real Sarah Nathan Tel Aviv travel experience.
Anyway, Just wanted to let you know I am having a fabulous time and am unbelievably happy I am here. When I came back from the airport today it didn't feel like I was still traveling, it felt like I was coming home. (Don't worry though, I am not moving here, or even thinking about moving here)
Right now I am planning my Spring Break. Hopefully it will consist of Italy, Spain, and then hopefully either morocco and portugal or prauge and budapest. Unfortunately it means missing Pesach in Jerusalem, but there are plenty more holidays to celebrate here and my friends and I will find a Sedar abroad. Oh, and to answer your question. Yes, I have made lots of friends. You will be able to see all of their friendly faces in the pictures I post. Everyone on this program is so great.
I am starting classes tomorrow. I am taking Songs of Slavery and Zionism: African and Jewish culture and literature in the Diaspora, Jewish Education: The vision and the reality, Middle East from Print to Press ( a communications/media class), Israel and the environment, and Israeli Companies: from local to global. I am excited for all of them.
I love you so guys so much.
