... and finally in Israel!
We arrived this morning in Israel (at 5:30 in the morning, after a late night flight from London -- its actually only a 4 1/2 hour flight in the end), picked up our rental car and headed to Shachar's Mom's. After a trip downtown to exchange money and visit the amazing vegetable market (loads of photos of that to come), I was able to take a much needed nap and now we're visiting Sharon & Ran's apartment (and borrowing their net access) before heading over to have dinner with the rest of the family. Its colder than I had expected (thereś even a little snow left on the ground which is very rare here) but the sun was shining and the city looked amazing. I canīt wait to see more!
