First day back at gan in a while! It was nice to see my babies again.
Tuesday 3/24:
Yom Nativ- Sderot
We went to a really cool lookout in Sderot where we had a good, clear view of the Gaza Strip. You could really see how close together the houses/buildings were and now I understand how the Gaza Strip is the most densely populated area proportionally in the world. We went to see a new indoor play place JNF is building for the children of Sderot with 5 bomb shelters inside. We ate lunch and walked around the shuk in Sderot, came back to Yerucham and talked about what we saw in Sderot and then called it a day. Sderot was really just a normal town. There has not been a rocket there in over 2 weeks, but whenever there is, it seems like they recover from it really quickly.
Wednesday 3/25:
Gan, left early to go to Jerusalem for the night!
Thursday 3/26:
Jerusalem Half Marathon/10k!
I ran the 10k with a bunch of other Nativ girls and it was so much fun! My goal was under an hour and I ran 56:33, so I was happy. The course had a lot of hills and it was not easy, but I felt accomplished afterward. Everyone did really well! My friends David and Avi ran the half marathon, and Avi came in 2nd place in his age category and won a trophy! Then we all went out to lunch at Sambooki. What a wonderful day!
Shabbat in Yerucham:
I slept in late Friday morning, did Kabbalat Shabbat at the Nativ girl's housr, and then for dinner I went to my host family. It was really nice. Saturday I slept in again, ate lunch with Becky's family at our apartment, and then hung out all day and night until I was ready to go to sleep. I played many rounds of Bananagrams and Taboo and read a lot in The DaVinci Code (SUCH a good book!)
Today:
Gan.

Hi Sarah! Mazel tov on the 10K - that's quite an accomplishment. The DaVinci Code was a great book, very fast reading. Glad you're enjoying it.
How was that for my first comment?!
Love,
AJ
Hi, Sweetie! Great photo of you crossing the finish line on Facebook! Good job! Love, Daddy
Way to go on the run! Remember Houston?!
I just bought Bananagrams for Rebex for her birthday - had never heard of it before! Looks fun! Also looks as though it can probably be played with Scrabble tiles.
Did you read People of the Book yet? Can't wait to talk about it with you. If you like it, read The Ghost of Hannah Mendes. You have a copy there and I have another one here for you to read if you don't get the chance there.
