"If I had to choose something that made me happy, it would pretty much be football on the beach." -E. WertheimMost people that know me well, when reading the above quote, would surely think that it came from my lips. Well, au contraire, it's from the lips of the other E. Wertheim, my cousin, Erica, from New York. Cousin Erica has been here all summer long, first as a participant on Birthright and then afterwards as a resident of Tel Aviv.
To me Erica was always my little cousin, a cool kid but one whom I did not know that well because of the difference in age (she's 19). After a summer together, I can now say that I know her quite well and she's AWESOME! She's fun, caring, smart, interesting and just an overall great person. We've had many fun moments together and I've really enjoyed getting to know her as an adult (ok, who am I kidding, neither of us are adults:-)
We're both regular beachgoers and have fun breaking out the שש בש (backgammon) and soaking up the rays as well as chucking the football (she throws the ball better than any girl I've ever met). We've spent many ice cream dinners together, gone out to the bars, seen a cool concert, walked all over Tel Aviv and much more. I'm very sad to see her go, but excited because she's planning on coming back next summer.
I would also just like to add that she's had a full summer at the beach and I only have one or two days there each week and my tan is still darker than hers:-) Love ya, cuz!

but i love you anyway cuz, and beating you at shesh besh is just an added plus! =P
ummm, i'm actually offended that you think she throws a football better than any other female you know.
yeah, I can't believe she's the best Wertheim football playing female. Have you ever seen my Joe Namath spiral??
of course i've seen your spiral! my momma can throw!
we will need a good female wertheim competition to officially determine who is the best football player.
