Making sushi last week
I guess Mother Nature wasn’t quite ready for spring, because we had another few days of very windy and wet weather last week – hopefully it’s over!
Here’s a photo from the sushi party last week – it was during the Purim holiday, when you are supposed to wear costumes. Our host, Ray, was in a pink too-too!
Last Sunday, my pleasant walk down the beach to Jaffa turned into two hours of wandering around lost, trying to find a place that frames pictures. I finally found it, thanks to the help of a local staff friend who called to give me directions.
Last weekend, rockets started coming out of Gaza – which don’t come anywhere near Tel Aviv – but on Monday I had to work on getting an emergency message out for travelers.
I am in the process of getting my medical clearance to go to Pakistan; as part of that, I wanted to have a colonoscopy. Not the most pleasant procedure, but my results were normal. Luckily, the medical care here in Israel is very good. I did the test last Wednesday morning, then took the rest of the day off to recover. I spent part of the time up at Rob’s watching a movie with his kitties.
Thursday night I went to the Thai House with Petit and Katie – a good girls’ night out.
Friday night, my manager Juan and I went to Hotel Montefiore for drinks after work – a good way to unwind!
