Well, we found ourselves a third home in Israel. We decided on one of the apartments that we saw last weekend, 15 min walk to the beach, and about 5 minutes from Ben's base. It is a basement apartment but it has plenty of windows for light to get into the living room. When we move, I'll post pictures, but for now I'm relishing the time I have left up here in Karmi'el. Did I mention I fell in the bus the other day? Haha, I got up to get off when it was still moving and boom, down I went..Ben and I laughed, but the man next to us just stared..so weird. It was one of those falls where you know it's going to happen and you can't do anything to stop it and make it even worse by trying.

I had my oral test in Hebrew class today, it went great! It felt like I was just rattling off in hebrew as if it were English, I'm sure I was really speaking rather slowly, but it felt like I was speaking so fast!

Here are some pics from the visit with Ben's family in Portland. It was pretty funny...I haven't riden a camel here in Israel, or in Egypt but I found one to sit on right there at OMSI.

We had a great Independence Day here in Israel (it was Tuesday). Monday night we joined Tatiana, David, and Yoel at the amphitheater for a kids show, music, and fireworks. Then Tuesday Ben and I went on a LONG walk and then Tatiana and I studied in the park. It was a really nice day, although I kind of wished I were a kid because they had a lot of fun things in the park. Those blow up play things you can jump, flop, and bounce on....fun!

I miss you mom.
