Israel

Just got back from a two-week visit to see some family and friends and attend my sister’s wedding.

Weather was quite hot and humid but somehow I partially enjoyed that. And I was reminded yet again of how vibrant Israel (and particularly Tel Aviv) is, with eateries and bars open late and people out for a stroll on avenue paths long after most other cities settle down for the night.

I can’t quite live full-time in Israel but I love it so.

I really want to go to the beach in Tel Aviv, now that spring and summer are upon us (as it’s been said, there’s no spring in Israel, only winter and summer :) so it’s summer there now.)

Oh, man, I miss living so near a real beach. Israel is pretty much California but with the New York cosmopolitan style.

What can I say? It’s a love-hate relationship. Absence makes the heart and such.
