Greetings from the Holyland

Arrived Monday. Spent some glorious time with Amit. He just keeps getting better!! Rotem also came over so we had a lovely evening.
Yesterday Inbal had to leave early so we drove Amit to daycare, dropped the car off at Inbal's work and hopped on a #63 bus. Walked down Allenby (feh) to Kikar Hamoshavot where I searched for Hebrew letter beads for my corset challenge. I found them but was not enamoured of them. Then I found a piece of "balsa" (the thin wood from which kite pieces are made)with punch-out Hebrew letters. I bought two, thinking I would punch out the letters, spray paint them either white or silver, punch holes in them and sew them to the blue waves. But once I punched out the letters, I figured I could use the "frame" they sat in as a stencil and fuse fabric letters to the waves or just fuse fusible letters and foil them. So many options. I also bought some more silver mirror-like sequins. All of which I have put in my suitcase, not to be used again until I get home. Back to the bead stores in which I showed terrific restraint by not shopping... From there we went across the street to Matalon Street and the toy stores to buy plastic fillable dreidls (one of Inbal's tasks as member of the daycare's parents' committee). From there we walked to Nahalat Binyamin to see the outdoor craft market. Not much new and exciting. Nahalat Binyamin Street is the official textile street of Tel-Aviv. I wouldn't mind going back another time to see the textiles. Hopped on the #63 back to Inbal's to await the return of Amit.
Today, we are both suffering. Menachem's jet lag has caught up with him. I ate something which didn't agree with me yesterday. So we're taking it easy. Menachem moved Inbal's chalkboard/bulletin board from behind the fridge to over the computer desk. (He didn't originally install it to be behind the fridge but when she got her dishwasher and the fridge moved, the bulletin board was behind it and we didn't get a chance to move it last visit.) And then some hooks by the front door. It's mid-day, Menachem is sleeping, I'm doing some laundry. Inbal may work late today so she took Amit to daycare by bike and we will pick him up with the car this afternoon.
So I guess that's all for now.
