I'm still alive! Apologies for the delay, our lovely apartment in Tel Aviv didn't have Internet. Plus I was kind of busy strolling around the Mediterranean coast in my t-shirt and sandals.
Second apology: for those of you buried in snow, that was just cruel.
But indeed, Tel Aviv is gorgeous and the weather was absolutely perfect. I'm spending my final day in Israel in Haifa with Libby and her parents. It's a city in the north on the coast, and it's built on a mountain. The condo where we're staying is on the top of the mountain and I'm currently looking out the window over the city lights and the Mediterranean.
I can't even describe it in words, but pictures will be coming soon.
For now, just wanted to say that I'm still here, still learning so much (including more Hebrew) and just feeling so fortunate that I get to see things like this.
Last night, we went out around 12:30 and had drinks on the beach in Tel Aviv. Libby and I went to dip our feet in the water, and as we shrieked while the waves unexpectedly soaked our jeans, I looked up at the lights of Jaffa and had one of those moments where you can't even believe you got lucky enough to end up where you are.
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I'm sad to be leaving Israel tomorrow (hoping my flight gets to snowy London on time), but I'm so looking forward to seeing everyone in the UK before heading home on Wednesday!
Love,
Jess
