So, yesterday I was trying to take an internet vacation because until today, I had been spending 1.5 shekls a MINUTE to use the internet. for those that don't know, 4 shekls are in a dollar. Do the math.
So, now I have gone from liking Israel to loving it. This is good because about 4 days ago, I would've cut off my left arm to come home. I could list out the things that I love, but that would take forever and while it's not 1.5 shekls a minute anymore, it still costs money. Someone is smoking next to me. VOMIT. That's one thing not to love around here. Everyone smokes. Haven't they heard the news about the CANCER involved in smoking? One would think.
So, anyway, I have heard that some of you have tried to call me. The bummer for you (well, more me) is that the phone number I posted on here isn't RIGHT. To find out how to call me for real, ABBY will have to post how to do so. So get on that, Abbdar. Seriously.
Today, I am on a hunt to find another place to stay for the three days before Art and the congregation gets here. I'm a little sad about that because I really like where I'm staying. I am going to try and move to the fancy schmancy YMCA that is across the street. Now, I know at home one usually wouldn't associate the words fancy or schmancy with YMCA... however, here in the holyland, it's like the Taj Mahal. At least it is to me. Be careful about using their internet thought. 1.5 shek a min. Burn.
Well, I could go on about all the things that I am doing but then I wouldn't have anything to tell you when I get home. And no one wants that. PS: MAMA OR LISH- how about coming to get me at the airport when i get back? Flight information to follow.
I lauve you.
Bye. LEX

Alex,
I'd say 4 shekl's is a $ well spent.
This is my daily armchair adventure. Why are you moving across the street with only 3 days left? Do you really need swanky? Or are you still getting middle of the night strays?
Of course, you will be picked up on your return. Just send flight info. We will be there.
More problems with sending you comments. I still think dufuss is correct. Frank sends you his love.
Take care.
Love you.
Mama
So...the YMCA is the garden spot of the whole country? My guys are well-versed in the whole Y thing..."fancy" and "schmanzy", not really the 2 adjectives they'd use to describe their Y experiences...more like "lame-o" and "double lame-o"...but that's them. I"m not going to fight with mama on the correct spelling of "doofus" on your witty, little blog. And just an FYI: Frank has no love to send. You're on vacation, you are supposed to get shekeled and agoroted to death.
Take Care,
BFFJ
All I did to call you was press the "call this number" button on my cell phone and it worked like magic. BTW it costs me 34 cents a minute to call you. that's more than a shekl a minute.
