On the road again...

Well, it's that time again. That time when things aren't settled and I say to myself "Go get yo-self a new place to live." Hehehehehehe

Ok, not quite like that, but I am on to apartment #4 in Tel Aviv and I am very excited. My last apartment was by far the best (I've been staying in good friends Leora and Ariel's apartment for seven months while they were traveling for their honeymoon). However, now they're back so I was off in search of a new place... and guess where I ended up?

If you answered "a 30 second walk from the beach," then you are right! I'm moving into a newish building (only 20 years old compared to most buildings here which are well in the 60+ range) with two roommates and a short walk to the schuk (open-air market). I'm looking forward to getting fresh fruit and veggies once a week from there and as previously mentioned, I'm a 30 SECOND walk from the beach:-) Also, a close friend of mine, Shai, lives across the street from the new place so it will be great to be nearby. One other thing, did I forget to say how close I am to the beach?

Look forward to posting more soon. We just got through the very long and wonderful holiday season here in Israel, so a hearty Chag Sameach to all!

קרמבו Krembo

You know it's winter in Israel when Krembo pops up in the stores.

What is Krembo? Krembo is a delicious cookie, marshmallow, chocolate combination conveniently wrapped in blue foil and ready for immediate consumption. Krembo season is very short (only 4 months) but nevertheless 50 million are sold each year in Israel (Wikipedia article above).

I can't help but get one most times I go to the grocery store. They are just too gooey, yummy and fun to pass up. For only 2 shekels, you can give yourself a quick sugar boost and a smile. It reminds me somewhat of a smore, but without the bonfire and hot marshmallow. Next time you're in Israel in the winter, definitely pick one up!
