It’s a blessing that our little studio apartment is in a great Jerusalem neighborhood. Our street, Emek Rephaim, means “valley of giants,” and it’s mentioned a couple of times in the Bible. The slideshow below is a tour of Emek Rephaim. We walk this way roundtrip once or twice a day, so we’re walking an hour or two each day. It’s great–almost like our days in Slovakia. Hope it makes up for missing our workouts at the Y. It’s refreshingly practical to walk for transportation, not just for exercise. Yes, I ate that whole salad–and the bagel and cappucino that went with it.
