Jan. 11 2011

hey all,
 as you may know, I'm in Israel now.
It's very tiring to speak hebrew all day!
Today I played a game called names. Here's how to play:
            what you need:

  1.A basketball

  2.  at least 3 people

  how to play:
Throw ball to a player and say their name.The ball must bounce once. If the player catches the ball he/she throws to a player.If he/she does not catch the ball or the ball bounces twice, you lose a life.  When you lose three lives, the other players decide a name and don't tell you what it is.  Then you keep playing with your name being whatever they changed it to. Ex: before - Raizi; after - ketchup.

After school I went on a cable car from near my school down to the beach. Here are some pictures:




Down at the beach, we saw fishermen and when they caught a small fish they'd throw it to the waiting stray cats. Here are the cats eating the fish.

  2. Raizi, it must be fun to be away and report your adventures to the people who stayed home. I enjoy your first post. They're the best cat photos I've ever seen!

    I look forward to more.

  5. For some contrast...here is a video of the doggies in the snow:

    Looks like you are in a slightly more benign climate!

  6. Raizi,

    What fun it must be, to live, even though just for half a year, in a different country, speaking a different language (stick with it; I know that after a short while, you'll be speaking Hebrew like a native sabra) and experiencing all kinds of different things.

    Keep a journal, and years from now, you'll be able to read it and remember fondly all that happened to you.
