As promised, pictures of my Israeli campers. Again, so freaking adorable. I love them!

Today I found my way to Kfar Saba by bus, which, though still confusing, was definitely easier than the taxi-train-taxi situation yesterday. A few minutes after I arrived to work, Jeanine, my Ima in Kfar Saba, came to visit me. We sat and chatted for a little while, and just meeting her made me feel so good and taken care of. I am so happy to have her while I'm in Israel :)

Today was once again really fun for me. Amazingly these kids really like me even though the majority of what I say to them is somewhere along the lines of "Mah? Mah?" or "What? What?" in English. ((sigh)) Ze lo cal. This is not easy. But it's what I want to do, and I'm so excited at the possibility of really improving my Hebrew.

Hmmm...Mah Od? What else?

This evening Ashley and I decided to go for a run along the beach. It felt SO good to run, and it could not have been more beautiful as the sun was setting. We were not the only ones who thought this was a great idea. We were accompanied by what seemed like every single Israeli living in Tel Aviv who decided to run on the boardwalk at the same time as us. We breathlessly called out Slichas (excuse me) as we maneuvered through the crowd, and forty minutes later we arrived back home, red and exhilarated!

Oh yeah. We found another cockroach. I was just stepping out of my luxurious shower when I heard a shrill scream and found Ashley standing on a chair. I quickly ran downstairs and found a guy to come and sweep the disgusting creature off of the balcony. I shiver just imagining if she hadn't seen it. Ugh.

Tomorrow I am going to the pool with the kids! Here's hoping all goes well!
