Still, here we are, and I have some major backlog of events to chronicle. Firstly, a shout-out to Emily for meeting up in Paris on such short notice, and for bringing along her lovely husband as well as the potent cheeses and delicious wine, as well as escorting us around the Luxembourg Park. As well as sharing interesting stories about herself and her husband. It was stupendously nice to better know someone I'd previously only corresponded with via the Internet. And she even gave me a book as a totally unexpected present. How did she know I love books?
So hopefully I'll be able to catch up on things this week, and enliven this blog with more real-time action. After I catch up on all the chores that languished as my body warred with whatever bacterium or virus that was trying to colonize it. We are also moving out of our current apartment for good at the end of July, right before we fly to Taiwan for a mix of business and family visits. The apartment we thought we'll move into after we return to Israel for the next school year just fell through as an option, as its landlord has decided to convert it into two studios in hopes of reeling in more rent money from university students who mostly just need to a place to sleep.
Ah well. Will write more later.
Back from the intermittent train rides through Europe.
I love trains rides through Europe. Or train rides, period.
Looking forward to doing it again someday
(not too soon, but not too much later) with the family.
The pleasure was all mine. It was so cool to meet your family. Now I can perfectly picture Declan pulling on your arm and that adorable little baby. Poor you! Food poisoning is the worst.
ReplyDeleteI keep telling David to try to get another meeting in Israel so I can meet up with you, but his job is not cooperating. Boo.
