Well today we wake to the second worst day weatherwise of the trip but still can’t complain. It’s slightly overcast and hazy but still not bad. Perfectly fine for walking around Tel Aviv.
Had a fabulous time yesterday at Dorit’s house. She and her family were warm and inviting and man can she cook! As Chris said, “She can put the bedouins to shame.” It was great touring the Moshav and the area around and learning that really life (especially the politics of schools) isn’t much different in Israel than in New Jersey.
We were so stuffed when we returned, we just hung out in the business lounge, drinking sodas, nibbling on Japanese rice snacks, and playing rummy cube. Sad to say, I’m still leading Becky and Sammi in our tournament by 300 points :D.
Afterwards, we all climbed into our bed, and watched Legally Blond on Sammi’s DVD player, as Chris had never seen it. Finally got to sleep a bit after 11.
On tap for today – Chris went for a long run. The girls and I will have some breakfast and do a bit of packing (we have to be out of the girls room at noon but can keep ours until 4:00), and then what else? Shopping! If the weather clears a bit, we’ll probably end the day on the beach before we grab a light dinner and head to the airport.
