They say "time flies when you're having fun!" this is definitely true! We have been doing quite a lot of nice things since Charlotte arrived... The day before yesterday on "Yom Hahatsmaout" (independance day) we went first to the dead sea and then for the traditional bbq at our cousins in Beer Sheva. It was great to spend time with the family and especially for Charlotte to meet her cousins. Those from Herzlia came as well. The Dead sea however was less successful. I had not realised that on such a day (holiday) thousands of people go there with their family to BBQ on the beach. It was so full that we did not even go for a swim. Did not feel right. Well, another experience left for "next time".... At least we have enjoyed the beautiful Negev desert scenery... Yesterday was spent shopping for groceries, first at the Shuk Hacarmel, then at the supermarket. I like the fact that Charlotte gets to know how we live, where we shop, etc.... The afternoon was spent at the gallery which we needed to get ready for the photoshoot that took place at 6pm. Again great to have Charlotte there! The photographer's father happens to be the stage manager of the Beit Lisin theater - one of the best theatre in Israel and located around the corner form our house. He invited Charlotte to come visit. Charlotte studies theatre production in Amsterdam and is very interested in discovering theatres in other countries. We went there this morning and she really liked listening to Baruch (the stage manager) stories and information. He has been working there for 30 years now! After the visit we went home and got ready for a long walk in Tel Aviv. We started in Shenkin street - great for all its shops and cafes - continued to Neve Tsedek and ended in Jaffa where we had lunch on the sea front. After lunch we had a last walk in the shuk hapishpishim (flea market). Totally exhausted we took a cab back home. Now we will rest for a few hours before attacking the week end!
