A day with Andrew

(oh it's great to have the American Internet back)





Monday turned into a beautiful day. We spent the morning and afternoon with Andrew B from back home, and then soon we will be getting ready for dinner with Ari and Na'ama.




We started today with breakfast at Beitz Ein with Andrew B, Bubbie, Sam and me. And the meal was delicious and oh was there a lot of food. We ordered breakfast but along with the eggs or yogurt came salad, cheese's and bread (really good bread). So we had breakfast (and lunch) and then we went shopping....


I had a mission, I wanted to buy some fabric while I was in Israel. Easier said than done, people don't craft like they do in the U.S. so we had to look hard but we did finally find a fabric shop and they were all on the end of King George. And someone had told us about this (I don't remember who) but if someone opens a business and is successful then someone will come in right next door and put the same business. So there are fabric shops at 11,8, 6 and 4 King George. Most of the fabric seemed to be for curtains or upholstery but there was a little bit of plain cotton print. So we bought a little fabric and then moved on to sukkah decorations. I am hoping the shop keepers are accustom to Crazy Americans... but when you find something that you can't get in the states and it is only 3 shekels (75 cents) you buy one of everything. and we did. Thank you Andrew for being able to reach them for us. Sam's mission that day was a pair of boots. To the best of my knowledge she still had not gotten any by the time we left but that is for another entry. We also found a great candy shop and other miscellaneous chach-kiy shops. We ended up on Ben Yehuda and the boys met us for lunch at Moshiko and then more shopping. After lunch we went shopping for gifts for the guys....We went to two different Military supply store were Andrew





helped us pick out a backpack for Daniel and then some stuff for the boys back home. Andrew you were a big help thank you.
