Back online and now in Modi’in

Wow. FINALLY back online. This blogging break was totally unintentional. I was without a TV or internet access for about a month and a half. It wasn't easy. I did sleep a lot more which was nice, but I'm thankful for technology.

We were living on Abraham Lincoln street or as they say in Hebrew "AVRAHAM LINCOLIN." It's located right behind the YMCA in Jerusalem. It was weird being back in town. First of all the noise. The ambient noise which probably doesn't affect most city-dwellers was a bit too much on my ears. I got used to the quiet of life on a moshav.

I must say I enjoyed the time we spent sitting on the porch watching people go by. Bibi and Sarah even took a shabbat stroll by our place. Colorful characters would ask for directions, stare, say hello or just yell at my dogs.

Another bonus was living near Cafe Hess. A wonderful cafe down the block. The owner Gilad is a real mensch and has created a beautiful neighborhood cafe where I got a cup of coffee nearly every morning.

My dogs weren't so impressed with the holy city. Too many noises to startle them and not enough space. Thankfully in our new home in Modi'in we have a substantial garden for them to play in.

Good times. Good times. Noodle pudding.

Consider this a new beginning. I'm back and I have a ton of shit to talk about and will probably need some DIY advice.
