Weren't you freezing? It was so cold when we were there because thank G-d it was pouring for several days. (It still amazes me that I was glad to see pouring rain on my vacation.) I wore so many layers of clothes. On Monday we went to Chevron to the Cave of our Forefathers and the Rabbi leading the tour, told us we shouldn't pray for the rain to stop because Israel needs it so much. One of the Ladies on the tour asked if she could pray for just one day of dryness and I told her let's just pray that the rain should continue, but we should be warm. When we went to the gift shop guess what? They were selling sweatshirts! We never made it to Tel Aviv. My Aunt and Uncle live in Rishon Le'tzion and our plan was to meet them in Tel Aviv, but my Aunt wanted us to see her new house so we ended up going there instead. They took us to the sea side for a while and we collected shells. Did you know that some of the shells had tiny holes in the top as if they were made for jewelry! My Uncle gave us a tour of Jaffa, he took us to the Old city, and then to the Shuk. Apparently he is a Shuk addict. He was beaming as he showed me around and my Aunt helped me bargin for a piece of silver jewelry I had picked out for my daughter. Then they wanted to make us lunch... My Uncle said he would make us spaghetti. OK - Can you make it without sauce? No Sauce? No and no oil? No oil? Just plain spaghetti?... you can guess how the rest of that conversation went. We had such an amazing time. I could tell you about the rest of the trip but you'll be here all day reading it. I'm still on a permanant high. I'm also completely jet lagged! The rest of my photo disks should be ready Sunday, so I'll tell you more about the trip then. How are the Apartment renovations going? When do you think you'll be able to move in? I just realized this is probably the wrong forum for this conversation. Oops Oh well I'll meet you in the living room next time. Chany
