We took the car out for a spin last Sunday &#8211; thank goodness for GPS! We didn&#8217;t find the grocery stores we were looking for, but it was a fun adventure.<\/p>\n<p>Last Friday night, we went for a walk on the beach promenade in the early evening. It was a beautiful night for a walk. We ended up stopping for dinner at <a title=\"LaLa-land hompage\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lala-land.co.il\/index_eng.html\" target=\"_blank\">LaLa-land<\/a> on the beach. The restaurant&#8217;s cat was curled up in the chair next to me the whole time we ate. She didn&#8217;t pay any attention to us, until the end of our meal when I started feeding her shrimp.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re getting more in the swing of things at work, too. Interviews are getting more routine, and we&#8217;re getting involved in several extra projects. We stayed late on Wednesday evening for a &#8220;Women in Diplomacy&#8221; presentation &#8211; it was interesting to hear about the careers of three women in the Foreign Service.<\/p>\n<p>Friday night, we walked up to an Italian restaurant called &#8220;Cantina&#8221; for a nice dinner with Emily and Dave. Emily works with us in the Consular section, and Dave is a fun and interesting editor\/writer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Full moon over Tel Aviv We&#8217;re feeling more at home here each day.\u00a0We got our air freight this week, so we have a few more things to make us comfortable \u00a0(Flavie was glad to get her scratching post). \u00a0We got our DVD player, so were able to watch some episodes of &#8220;Fringe&#8221; this week.
