Well it's the day before I leave Israel, exactly one year since I left home. Last week I went up to Karmiel to visit my friends from Ulpan. On Monday I visited with Milton and his son Allan (it's too bad Danny is still in Brazil, I won't get to say goodbye). We had a good day just kind of hanging out at his house. On Tuesday I went with Tatiana, Yoel, Vadim, Diana and her family and friends from Ecuador to the beach in Netanya. I actually hadn't even spent any time on the beach there before. At first it was rather disappointing...the sand was big and grainy and the waves were far to rough for Yoel to swim at all. After a long trek down the beach and along the road (barefoot! oops!) I found a really nice beach. It cost a few dollars to get in but it was clean and the water was slow like in a little lagoon....it was perfect. I spent a wonderful 45 minutes in the water with Yoel, having that kind of fun that you miss from when you were a kid, and talking away in Hebrew...it was so nice. A great time with Tatiana and Diana, I will miss them so much!
It was a really good time up in the North, but hard to say goodbye.
Last night I went out to Tel Aviv with Ben and we met up with Tamar for dinner. It's really too bad I didn't get to spend more time with her because she is such an easy friend to have. Once again...why am I so much better at making new girlfriends in Israel than I ever was at home?! Ben has my camera right now but I'll post some pictures here soon.
Tonight we are going out to dinner with Eran, Bubi, and Dudu (yes those are nicknames), and after that I have a phone interview for a math position at a middle school in Oregon. Wish me a quick mind and good speaking skills..I'll have to remember not to answer in Hebrew!
