As soon as everyone was re-nourished after fasting on Yom Kippur, the sukkah building began. Everyone builds a sukkah, and just about everyone uses the same generic sukkah tablecloth-looking material. I saw a sukkah outside a pizzeria.
Hebrew lessons (Ulpan) are going well. I can now count to 100 and tell time. I am also pretty good at ordering food and telling the taxi where to go. It’s a slow process, but I’m doing pretty well. Hebrew is Tov Me’od (very good). It’s like kindergarten all over again, except they are probably better than we are.
So apparently shipping stuff to Israel is a nightmare; I don’t recommend it. I am now on a first-name basis with the FedEx guy, but I think I’ll have my camera by the end of the week/next holiday and then there will be lots of pretty pictures!
It was 90 degrees outside today. It’s almost October…not a fan.
I got stung by a jellyfish for the first time every the other day. Not as bad as I thought it would be. It’s on my boob.
We discovered something amazing that happens on Fridays. There is a food festival type thingy at the big mall in downtown Tel Aviv every Friday afternoon. Guess where we will be spending most Fridays….Lots of different kinds of food everywhere!
Our orientation month is coming to a close so there will be less aimless wanderings to share and more meaningful experiences.
I think your Uncle Fred described getting something shipped to Israel like hostage negotiations. Ouch on the jelly fish sting. I hear pee makes the sting go away.
