Tale of Two Cities – 10.2.10

My youngest (as well as my other children) can identify The Kever of The Rambam when we drive past it. That's pretty cool – but we don't want her to forget what the kotel looks like either.

Erev Chag – We prepare to head to Yerushalayim for Chag and Shabbat. (Note: NOT a 3-dayer here). We packed a suitcase, threw together a few bags, filled up the car with gas (and received from our friends at the gas station, a cold bottle of water along with a challah).

This really is a pretty small country; it simply does not take that long to get from one end to the other. The drive to Yerushalayim went pretty fast – no major traffic jams. Kvish 6 really moves quite well. There's still something a bit surreal about having speed limit signs with the number 110 on them. As an aside: plenty of Mishtara cars on the roads – often they have their flashing lights going. How do you know when they're coming for you if the flashing lights are always going?

It was great spending Yom Tov and Shabbat in Yerushalayim with friends. Getting back to the kotel, walking through the Old City, hearing the pre-Shabbat siren, travelling down memory lane – all great! Trying to find a place to park the car in Yerushalayim – not so great.

Motzaei Shabbat – back home in Teverya. It's good to be home.
