Day 1 in Jerusalem

Downtown Jerusalem Israel, City Center at Night,
Now... I just arrived to the city center and I need to find place to throw my bags, sit down and crack open a local beer. I am not looking for luxury especially on my first day. I started walking down the main artery in Jerusalem, Jaffa Street and suddenly ran into a place with a bright red neon light that read "hostel" - it should have read "home" because my body was exhausted from lugging me and my stuff 3000 miles in the past 24 hrs. I needed a rest. So I walk in the Jerusalem Hostel. Nice place, seems clean, affordable, cool people around. Just the place I was looking for.

I get the key to my room, throw my bags on the chair, lay my body down on the bed and stretch my bones. Yeaaahh!!! I finally have done it. I have begun my journey. I am all alone. Just me and the world. I am going to conquer the planet in 30 days, there is SO much to see, and so little time. I cant relax too much longer since one of the oldest cities that is still occupied is booming right outside my window. I must Experience Jerusalem! So lets GO!
