Friends and Gifts

One of the highlights of the past couple weeks has been the visit of my good friends Meg and Eli (henceforth to be referred to as M&E) who are visiting while on vacation. Of all of the things that I miss from the States, my friends and family (i.e. people) are really first and foremost on my list. While I saw M&E in Tel-Aviv the first night they were in Israel, I have spent most of my time hanging out with them in Jerusalem on weekends - which is conveniently where Michelle lives. As a bonus, M&E brought over several gifts from my family: A new 20 gig ipod and a new ultra-comfortable travel pillow. Given that I travel on buses for roughly 10 hours a week these gifts make me extremely happy. Thank you thank you thank you Nana & Papa and Aunt Carole.
