Around the Neighborhood

Our neighborhood is large. There's so many things to see around it. There's office buildings and gardens and restaurants and cafes and so many other things.

Our apartment is smack in the center of Jerusalem. We can walk everywhere. We can walk to the shuk and the old city. It's very loud and noisy, but that's city life. Right next to us, there's a street called Azza, and that's where all the action happens. There's several different restaurants and cafes. There's an ice cream place and a bakery and a supermarket. Then, ten minutes from us there's Ben Yehuda street, and that's the touristy street. All the really cool shops and restaurants are there. Then, there's the old city, which is a fifteen minute walk. It's always really busy there. There are big malls all over town, and there are many different people walking around.

Now, that's all the city life, but there is some country living here. Not far from our apartment there's a small farm where there are goats, chickens, roosters, and ducks. It was a really fun place to hang out. There are beautiful gardens everywhere with almond trees that are blooming, flowers of all sorts, beautiful green grass, and fountains with clear water. There are birds of all kinds here, and there's even a little forest where we like to play. It seems like Jerusalem is a huge city where it's never quiet, but just ten minutes out of the city, there's a beautiful wild life waiting to be noticed.

So, that's all around our neighborhood, and I really like it. We live so close to all that we need. It's fun to walk and see all the different people and places. It's fun to go around different parts of Jerusalem. It's really interesting here, and I like it.
