A blog for my trip to Israel

Well, I'm trying something new here. I've never had a blog before, but I think this might be a convenient way to communicate with friends and family while I'm off to Israel next week to attend the wedding of the youngest sibling in my high school exchange family, the Elyashars. Amir, 30, techno expert, is marrying Liat. clinical psychologist. Ima was p.g. with him when I lived there almost 31 years ago. Ray and I decided this was a great opportunity, so I'm taking it, even though the finances aren't there for us to go together this time. (Don't feel sorry for him. He spent 3 weeks in Israel 14 years ago without me, when we were considering a move there.)

I'm really looking forward to the trip. I will esp. enjoy catching up with these dear friends. But I will also appreciate seeing the changes in Israel over the years. I was first there when Israel was just 28 years old. Now she's almost 60. I hear she's quite sophisticated now.
