hard at work on curriculum

Hi!  More pictures in this post to show my surroundings.  Here's the outside of the building we're living in for now, which is on the Hebrew University campus in Jerusalem:

And in the deep dark depths of that building is our meeting room, where we write code, create lectures, eat nutella, and enjoy each other's company (most of the time)   :)

 Today we also spent some time doing a teaching workshop.  Each instructor had 5 minutes to present a topic and then got feedback on their teaching from the other instructors.  I chose to talk about skydiving, describing a typical jump.  My technical flow chart of the jump got rave reviews.

This was taken on the street where we went to get hamburgers yesterday (at 'MEAT burger').  There are scooters everywhere in this city!

 I've often been eating falafel for lunch.  They're really delicious here.  Here we are in East Jerusalem ordering lunch:

In other news, I must have really beat myself up in the Rachel Carson Trail Challenge.  Several days after arriving, my right foot was super painful with every footstep.  We found me a pair of crutches, which I've been using to keep my weight off it while it heals up.  As of today it's starting to feel much better.  At least I did fairly well in the race.

Good night!!
