Good Bye DC Hello Israel

---

Three years in DC, a most strange yet wonderful place in many ways, are over. The house is packed and the trash is piled on the curb. Well it was Friday night anyway. This morning most of it is gone! Gotta love the wandering scavengers who love those trashed pieces of furniture. Too bad much of it was spoken for on Freecycle. Pesky thieves! Regardless tomorrow we fly to Tel Aviv where I'm sure we will find the people as wonderful and frustrating as everywhere else. So will begin a three year adventure in that fascinating, yet sad land. All the usual questions come crowding back into my head, Will the kids like the new school? Will our stuff arrive in a timely manner? How quickly will we feel at home? Where did we pack the iron? How did this toy train get into my suitcase? Now it is time for breakfast so the answers will have to wait for later.
