This week seemed almost boring after all of our excitement and travels from last week! It’s also nice, though, to get back into a routine.
On Wednesday, we met our friend Jeff for drinks after work – he is heading to Manila for his next assignment. He was a charter member of John’s book club, and was a great contributor to the club – we’ll miss him.
Thursday evening, we attended a premiere of a documentary about Theodor Hertzl at the Ambassador’s residence. It was interesting – he is considered the father of Zionism and worked for the establishment of a Jewish state.
Yesterday, John and I volunteered to work at the annual holiday bazaar – he made balloon animals for the kids (a big hit!) and I worked at the refreshments table. On the way home, I was thrilled to stop at a full-service grocery store and load up the car with groceries!
