An excellent day, but too tired to think or write much. 4 hours of classes felt – for me anyway (R) – like having a very large new road tunnel built through my head.

The school is in an amazing new building that was built in, on, through and around the ruins of the old “Muro Musselman” that once divided the Muslim quarter from the Christian and Jewish quarters of the city. A beautiful, high-tech, modern facility with lovely interesting classrooms and all the tech you could ask for, but in extraordinary combination with the remains of the old architecture.

The sunset colors were gorgeous

Off to bed, but a few bonus pics:
