Israel

It is going to take some time for me to sit down and "blog Israel", but I hate being so behind on my blogging, so for now, I will post this picture and say that we had a great trip. Much more to follow at some point. 

Jet Lag?

It is good to be "home" in London. It was very strange coming back here after the 2 weeks in Israel. We are all exhausted. 

A Spiritual Shopping Experience

www.fortnumandmason.com

Today I went shopping. You can actually over exert yourself shopping in this city. I walked into Fortnum and Mason (only my second stop on my list) and felt totally awed. I wandered around, slowly, gazing at all the amazing foodstuffs on the first floor, only to realize that there was an entire downstairs I had not been to and then 4 floors above filled with beautiful stuff. I only looked and I resisted the urge to buy the $25 tea, some special hand picked something and very fresh.

Family Fun Day at ACS

We went to Family Fun Day at ACS this weekend. We arrived and within 2 minutes, all three kids had found their friends and run off, not to be seen again until they needed tickets or money. I would say this is a strong indicator of a good adjustment in only 7 weeks here!!

Golder's Hill Park

Abigail, in true Abigail form, saw this statue and had to take off her shoes to try on the bronze flip flops. They did not fit her, which is probably a good thing or we might have been stuck at this statue for hours.

Golder's Hill Park

Abigail and I took advantage of a warm, sunny day to visit Golder's Hill Park last week. It is about a 7 minute walk from our flat. We had a great time people watching and got some ice-cream at the cafe.

Kenwood House

Gardens at Kenwood House

Deb and I went to Kenwood House in Hampstead today. It was a gorgeous, sunny day and the place is spectacular. (OK, I need to come up with some new and better adjectives, but for the sake of a quick blog entry, I will stick to the obvious.)

Chelsea Flower Show

Deb and I went to the Chelsea Flower Show last Friday. It was spectacular. This is on the way to the flower show. For more photos see: http://picasaweb.google.com/112382677728425837109/ChelseaFlowerShow#5478266637710550466
