Our neighborhood:
We're settled here in our apartment in Rishon LeZion now. I started my job this week. I am working at Berlitz teaching English. On the 3rd I should be starting a summer camp for children during the day as well as teaching adults in the evenings. It looks like it's actually going to be a pretty busy summer.
I really do miss my friends in Karmi'el. Some of these pictures are from a BBQ at milton's house...so fun! I am hoping to go up there this week to see them. Tatiana is going back to Germany for a month so it would be nice to see her before she takes off. I met another nice 28 year old, I seem to be very lucky meeting friends here. We met at the training for Berlitz. She is from Australia. We don't have much time to get together, but it is nice to know that there is someone nearby with at least the potential to get together without having to travel too much.
Ben is doing great in the Army and absolutely LOVING his job. On Tuesday they army took at 'building morale' day and spent it at a water park, I was so jealous. These are his friends from army. Eran on the left (he has helped us SO much), Joni on the right, and Avi at the bottom (Avi is Ben's commander).
Despite the little afternoon when Ben was sick and I passed out, we are both doing/feeling very well now. We had a lovely afternoon at the beach last weekend. We played Matka until I had blisters and laid in the sun until we burned...whoops. Summer is supposed to begin on June 21st and this year I really think he did...on the dot. It no longer cools down in the evenings here, although so far it is still livable. We don't have to turn the air conditioning on except for moments when we just can't stand it, but they are rare, and short-lived.

Funny Moment of the Month: Within 5 minutes at the market in Tel Aviv both Tamar (28 year old friend from Berlitz) and I had been mistaken to be Ben's MOTHER!! How is this possible?!!!
