We started the morning at the Kotel. Adam even put on tallit and tefillin (this I would not dare). We left the hotel and took a cab to Hod Hasharon. There we schlepped all of our suitcases into Linda and Menachem’s house, and played with Ilan, Yasmin, Zohar (who is half and 2 years, as she’ll say), and Gilad (who is an adorable bouncy baby boy). They left just as Emily, Simon (a very big 4 year old boy) and Eli (sweet and so blond) showed up from Raanana. We went out for felafel (because the best is in Hod Hasharon) and Adam had important jobs, first of entertaining the boys, then of sitting between them in the car in the back between two car seats! It was so hot but really nice to see them. And it’s not true what you read on their blog, Eli does talk! J We got to the airport, thanks to Emily, and checked in.
The flight home was fine, El Al style. Delayed, not boarded properly or with any order, and even started with broken ticket scanning machines so we had to go to a different gate first. Loud annoying children sat in front of us, but Adam and I were tough and did not entertain them. We landed late, got the bags and the car, and drove to NYC where we could not find a lot to park in. Very annoying. We slept from 4-7 AM then I went to my Rosh Hodesh: It’s a Girl Thing training. We’re back in West Hartford now and of course we miss Israel. Can’t wait to go back soon!
