I shot the landing. It was a round of applause much awaited. I stayed in the apartment of a family friend, who stayed up until I arrived, which was around 1:30 her time, so we chatted for a while, and then I woke less than 6 hours later to go and register on campus. The views from this mountain are amazing. The placement of Hebrew University on a watershed offers a mind blowing sight of the Negev, as well as the lush Jerusalem northern green. I took the tour so I'm fresh on my facts (the first class was Physics, taught by Mr. Einstein, en francais). The campus is arranged much like the city it overlooks. After an hour of walking through different school and cafeterias, I had not improved my directional perspective of the campus in the slightest. hallways and stairwells weave into different buildings, under tunnels. There's a botanical garden and a sweet British military cemetery, and everything is on a hill and heavily secured with guards, especially the Frank Sinatra Cafeteria, which was unfortunately attacked a few years back. The colors of faces and languages haven't reached my senses yet, but apparently there are students from 50 countries here with me, but I'm missing them, either because of over-exhaustion, or the breathtaking views giving me dry mouth and averting my attention.
These are some of those sights. The Facebook Album will grow with time...
