Shalom! Well, you finally have a place to hang your hat and all your great photos!
Thanks for sharing the photos of your apartment.
Another wedding - wow and this time in Jerusaleum, how special.
Good luck in your Tel Aviv apartment.
Yay! Yay for Lisa's visit! Yay for yummy ice cream! And YAY for my birthday shout out (I had been waiting for it, so its better late than never).
I am a little disappointed that England did not score a single point agaisnt Israel (only because I thought they were a good team). Sounds like Israel might do better in Euro 2008 than they did in Euro 2004! Where are the having Euro 2008?
I think there is more history in your blogs than there is in the entire history of the United States. It makes we wonder about the United States though...are we going to make it thousands of years into the future? Will our history be as rich? Gosh I hope so. And if not...I hope my family has left for Israel by then lol.
thanks for more great pictures I hope these entries will always be available online, because I haven't been saving them and they're really terrific! I'll want to hear more about your school experiences when you come home.
Hope you and Lisa have a great time together :-)
Whoa 2007 baby! Sounds like you've already had a busy 2007 and its only the first week!
Congrats on the new job! You deserve something more in your "field."
Have fun with your mom next week!
Great pix! Leah,
The pictures are incredible. What gorgeous places!
I loved the way your guide allowed you to have alone time in the desert. I hope I can do that someday..
Hello there! I think you should introduce the kiddies to Eminem. They like hip hop, they wanna learn English, have them learn from Eminem. Though, you might want to give them the cleaned up version. I don't think anyone would appreciate them learning bad words. ;)
Interview tomorrow! Keep your fingers crossed!
When you mentioned cheap fishing poles it made me think of the time you, margan, and i went/attempted to go fishing at burke lake. actually now that i think about it did we even try to fish or did we just take the boat out? haha either way it that was a fun day. i hope the internship gets all worked out!
why are you waiting to exhale?!? It sounds like you are having a wonderful time--great!!! You also seem busy with FUN stuff, which will make the entire experience SO memorable for the rest of your life. Treasure each moment and keep taking pictures! Especially of the people, but of the places too ;)
wow! what an amazing place to spend the holy days! Now, I not only want to go to Israel, but I definitely want to be there for the 10 days (and Slichot!)
Thank you for a glimpse into your world
love,
cousin Linda
tanning Leigha,
I noticed you are looking a little darker white girl. A note on tanning: espite societies outlook on the activity, it is very, very, very not good for you. Your skin darkens because it is literally burning--stop thinking tea-stained papyrus and start thinking toilet paper on fire.
For those who enjoy tanning, it will equal wrinkly, pock-marked-like skin with the possibility of dark freckles. Kind of like when you burn something...like your skin...
...do you really want to burn the most importatn organ in your body and your body's first line of defence against infection? Just some food for thought...
sweet Hearing you talk about Jerusalem is often invigorating--I remember being in England and seeing all of teh things I had read about my whole life and just being inawe that I was actually seeing and or touching whatever it was (Tower of London, ANYTHING in Oxford and Cambridge, Queen's Jewels, etc.) It is always so amazing to me that, especially in certain countries like England and Jerusalem, there is so much living history that you can literally walk all over and around it and it's no big deal.
D.C. is almost the same way, but not in the living history part. The work ten minutes walking from the most powerful city on Earth and I take it for granted most of the time. Kind of puts things in perspective, yes?
Glad to know you are having a great time and are being of good use. Keep it up Champ!
pics So wow, I never realized how beautiful Israel was until seeing all of the pictures you have been posting. I guess teh world is a beautiful place in general, you just have to know where to go, but Israel, or at least the places you seem to be visiting, seems to be particularly rich in this sense.
Best of luck in your travels, and remember, stay safe. Famous last words: "don't worry, no bombs have been dropped here, it's safe."
Tell that to people in the North and south World Trade Center buildings and the Pentagon, the ultimiate safety zone.
amazing Leah, I can't believe you took that picture of the sunset. It is such an amazing picture. It was good talking to you the other day. Miss you :)
Was that last comment directed at me? I don't understand...
Well I am so happy that you are touring the city with an avid passion. Let me tell you, I spent about an eighth of my time in England drinking and about half of it traveling. I remember two things from drinking (both cool stories) and almost everything from traveling. Time well spent? Absolutely. I plan on making a return trip within the next two years.
N-Dogg That's right! Travel! I, by the way, am 99% sure that I am going to commision in the Air Force. I have made the decision and my parents support me, so the only thing stopping me now is teh recruiter possibly saying something like, "No...no...you are a dirty Puerto Rican and we don't love you--in fact, you're expatriated."
Avoiding that, however, and I'm on within the year. I'll let you know how things progress :) Looks like I will be travelling the world a little bit too.
Pirates You are living in one of the historic countries of our time an all you have to talk about is POTCII?!? That's like going to Australia to go to an Outback Steakhouse...
SEE THE CITY MORE!!! MEET PEOPLE!!!
N-Dogg yes, you should definately come visit, before you die preferably. i think you wuold enjoy it more that way. you should come visit while i'm here, of course, if you want to wait till after the war, i guess i'd understand. haha. but i'd be a good tour guide.
