Glad you're reading my blog! it is a great time! Hopefully I'll continue to have access to wireless! It's not as easy here as in the US. We are traveling with about 40 other people for the trip in Israel, and most of them went in as well. We were just quick and got in before most of them! And out! Because it was pretty cold! Hi Megan!
