22 septembre 2018 : C'est le grand jour pour Daniel et Christine, sa fiancée. La cérémonie du mariage se déroule au bord de l'océan dans un cadre magnifique et d'une façon typiquement américaine. Après le cérémonie nous allons manger dans un restaurant situé au quinzième étage d'une tour. Nous dominons un stade de base-ball dans lequel a lieu un concert des Eagles. Les deux musiques, celle du concert et celle du mariage se mélangent et nous avons droit sur la terrasse à une cacophonie mémorable. De plus, le repas n'a vraiment rien d'exceptionnel et nous avons droit à différents discours et vœux qui se veulent plus drôles les uns que les autres. C'était quand même une journée très sympatique.... read more

Today the sea was prominent. Noah took us to surf at the beach he usually goes to, five minutes from his home. I put on his diving suit, which felt like I was wrapped up tight in saran wrap. Noah and I went to try and surf. The sea was calm with only gentle swells, which was just fine by me as I’m just learning to hold on to the board. We tried it a few times while Tamar waited on the beach (we only had two boards). After a few tries I switched with Tamar. She’s much better at surfing than me, that’s for sure! There was a seal playing in the water not far from where Tamar and Noah were surfing, and soon after that a pod of 3-4 dolphins came by. They were ... read more

We took it kind of easy today so it'll be a short blog. Woke up late and took our time getting organized, then Noah and the boys took us shopping at an outlet nearby. Tamar got some shoes and a shirt but other than that we just browsed a little. We had to drop Eldad off at a birthday party so our time was limited. After we dropped Eldad off, we went back to the Seal beach at La Jolla Cove to try and get some underwater footage of the seals. Unfortunately, neither the sea nor the seals were very cooperative. The sea was rough and the seals preferred to lounge on the rocks. We did have fun trying though. I think I did get a little glimpse of seal underwater with the gopro, but nothing ... read more

We spent the day today with Noah, Tali and the kids and had a lovely time. It took a while for everyone to wake up and get organized, so in the mean time I managed to get some quite good pictures of hummingbirds in Noah's garden. After we finally got organized and piled into the car Noah took us to Coronado Island over the Coronado bridge. Now that's a bridge! It crosses the San Diego bay, towering high above the water before dropping down to the island. Coronado Island is a high-end neighborhood of San Diego, with lots of large, expensive houses and fancy cars but not really much to do there. Still, driving over the bridge was an experience, and driving back gave us a good view of the naval shipyards and all the aircraft ... read more

Luckily, after waking up this morning at 3, I was able to get to sleep again and woke up at a more culturally acceptable time. Tali and Noah were getting the kids ready for school and Tamar was just getting up as well. Coffee was definitely in order! After we got the kids to school we prepared for our hike. It would be just Noah, Tamar and I. Oh, and Joker too. So we prepared sandwiches, got water and off we went. The Elfin Forest Recreational Reserve is only about a half hour drive from Noah's place. We got to the reserve and parked. At the entrance to the park there's a fire hazard meter, set to High. We don't see those at home! At the entrance to the trail there's a whole set of signs ... read more

So, we're finally away! Tamar and I got to Ben Gurion airport with plenty of time to spare, and a good thing too! Apparently almost 50 flights took off today to Uman (crazy religious)! But once we got through the check-in line things went smoothly, and we got past the security and passport control easily, with time to spare to stroll through the duty free and make terrible puns with the stuff they sell there. The flight was, well, I'd rather not do that again anytime soon! 15 hours on a plane with uncomfortable seats and lots of loud kids & babies. We reached San Francisco on time, if a bit ragged, and got through the airport smoothly and on time for our next flight. The next flight was just a short hop to San Diego. ... read more

When many of us travel, we seek out well known or popular places to eat. I am guilty of this some of the time as well. But if you are in an expensive place, or trying to economize, and eat a little healthier, you do have options. First, take advantage of the freebies in the hotel. Often breakfast, or at least, a continental breakfast is offered. And in foreign countries, the breakfast is substantial. In the evening, the hotel happy hours often provide cold and hot appetizers, as well as free or inexpensive beverages. If I get upgraded to the club floor, the food often serves as a meal replacement, particularly when the weather is bad outside, or your time is short. Two things I always carry, make that three. One is a refillable bottle for ... read more

The whole house is up at 7am. Scarlett has to go to work by 9 and we have to leave for the airport. Jonathan is home for the week for spring break. Queenie's buddy, Joe, a part-time Uber driver, will be picking us up at 10:30am. By 8:30, Scarlett leaves, the kid is upstairs playing video games and Karen and I have some coffee and watch the morning news. Nothing exciting going on around here today. Karen repacks what little she disturbed in our luggage, waiting for Joe. He calls, saying he will be 5 minutes late and we move our stuff out to the curb, positioning ourselves for pickup. Joe arrives 5 minutes late, we load our stuff into his Prius and we're off to the San Diego Airport. It's a 30 minute ride and ... read more
