Living the highlife at Kibbutz Gezer


A few days ago I said I was concerned that I might not have cell phone reception here on the kibbutz. I also thought there was no way I would have internet, especially not high speed. Yeah, about that... I was pretty much 100% wrong. Not only is this one of the most beautiful and modern homes I have been in since I've been here, but they have every ammenity you could ever desire in your entire life. Not joking. Oh, and ps: it's beautiful.

evidence:




David Leichman is the Rabbi's husband here on the Kibbutz. He picked me up at the airport when the congregational group left. I'll say, to be brief, that he is one of the nicest, most interesting guys I've ever met. After he picked me up, we went to a restaurant in Ramla called SoHo. I had teriakyi (pretty much positive that is spelled wrong) chicken. It was delish. I also had a margarita. We have tried many times to order margaritas in Israel and they are always hideously disgusting. This one was good. Really good.

Anyway, suffice it to say that I really am looking forward to my time here on the Kibbutz. I will be letting you know how things are going here on a regular basis because I have a computer in the bedroom where I am staying. And that computer? It has high speed internet. Booya.

Talk to you tomorrow.
Love, Lex
