Where to begin? Well, I up and moved, again. Good friends Leora and Ariel took off to explore the East (starting in Thailand, check out their adventures here) and needed someone to look after their apartment while they were gone. I loved my studio on Dizengoff Street, but when you compare the two apartments, it's not even close. My old place was 215 square feet, new place = 1,100 square feet. I now have a huge kitchen (Israeli huge) with lots of counter space, table and more. My new home is fully furnished, three balconies and a big screen tv... life ain't bad:) Also, I've got a great new roommate named Shira and she's helping me practice Hebrew (which is very slowly improving). As an added bonus, there's a juice machine, so most mornings I enjoy a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.
My girlfriend, Avigail, lives in Jerusalem so I've been spending a lot of time traveling back and
forth there as well. Here's a picture of us. Over the last few months we've gone on a few small trips together, from hiking in central Israel to a weekend trip up to the city of Haifa to visit friends. We've been dating now for more than 3 months and things are going really well. She's in medical school so she's quite busy this month with tests, but we're planning another getaway for the beginning of May; should be lots of fun!There is a lot more to report, but I want to get some pictures together before I post again. Stay tuned for these exciting posts: Trouble learning Hebrew in the Holy Land, Wednesday night poker, ATL here I come, Floating in the Dead Sea and hopefully at least one or two more in the next six weeks. Why six weeks? Because in six weeks I'll be back in the States for sister Paula's wedding (check out wedding site here). I am really excited for this trip... it'll have been almost 11 months since I left...
I promise to post again before Pesach (Passover).
Lots of love to all my friends and fam,
e
