The Jerusalem Center

This is the back side of the Jerusalem Center which over looks the city of Jerusalem

The outside walk leading up to the main entrance of the Center. It is a very popular site for Palestinian brides to have their bridal pictures taken. It's not unusual for 4-6 brides to be out there on a Sunday.
Our home away from home---our living room/dining room. It's small but very comfortable and we get Fox news!!

It's a lovely walkway.

Dear Family and Friends,
We are going to do an ongoing picture gallery of the Jerusalem Center. As we have written before it's a very lovely building and well maintained. There are always projects going on here to keep up with a building like this. They just bought 8 new refrigerators for the 4 professors apartments and the 4 couples apartments. Everyone is very happy about this. I know our refrigerator was freezing all the fruits and vegetables and others said they were having similar problems. If couples or students are in need of repairs or maintenance to their apartments they go through us and we turn in work orders. We are to report if the building looks dirty, unpainted or anything like that. So as keepers of the keys, taking care of maintenance, replacing items in apartments that are broken or worn we work the wonderful crew of maintenance and housekeeping to help keep the building in good condition- well, it can be a little busy but hey it's fun turning in work orders and seeing things get done.
I wish this blog would let us add more pictures but it won't so I'll write more about the center and include pictures. Hope you don't think this is boring but it's a big part of what we do here.
Love,
Dad and Mom
