First day in Israel!

Here we are! It's breezy but warm and extremely beautiful. The plants are so awesome!! We love all the flowers and the palm trees, etc...

The flight went without a hitch but it was SO LONG. SO LONG.
We're now staying with the sweetest family with lots of kids and good food.

So far today we've slept. and slept and slept.
and gone on a walk around the neighborhood, which was interesting - it's so different than Vermont.

Oh and we heard Vermont has snow. HAHA IN YOUR FACE VERMONT. it's like spring/summer here.

Ariel made friends with a cat on the street.
and a baby. How gregarious.

We'll be getting a cell phone here soon which will be convenient for when we start having daily outings.

we'll be posting pictures as soon as we can! promise!

More soon!!

    Just throwing things out there…maybe the baby and its parents could be the "Person of the Week" for your blog. I wonder what his/her parents' hopes and concerns are for its future? Who you choose, however, is obviously up to you guys.

    "...and gone on a walk around the neighborhood, which was interesting - it's so different than Vermont."

    We can't wait to hear/read in your journals and/or in your blog about what some of those differences (and the similarities) are.

    And, remember...Journal, Journal, Journal…Oi, Oi, Oi!

    Also, we hope you are collecting some of the “artifacts” that represent the small, but important pieces of your travels.

    Best,

  2. OK, first question: any language issues? Of course babies speak universal cuteness, and the cat...? We're clustered around various computers in the library catching up with you. Did you realize so many people would follow this? Happy travels to you both.

  3. We're following your adventures from Princeton, NJ, envious that you're currently in one of our favorite places in the world (and warm to boot). Keep the updates coming and don't do anything we wouldn't do!!
