I am practicing my spanish for Barcalona : ) What a party!!!!!!!!!!!! Last night we made dinner for 18 people 30 if you count the kiddos!!! That is a record for me - The food came out better than my last dinner party-thanks to a taco shop in Ein Hod I stumbled across- I picked up some awesome corn tortillas and made enchiladas - in Israel I have to make a lot of my sauces from scratch too-There is definitely not a mexican section at the grocery store...turns out enchilada sauce is very easy to make !

Most of our friends here are on foreign assignment like us but my friend Tali is from Haifa and as we sat on my patio she told me how 36 scud missiles from Saddam Hessian were landing all over the canyon we were looking out on! I explained to her that the American Patriot missiles were intercepting them... She stopped me and laughed assuring me that the Patriot missiles were only adding to the chaos and for one month Haifa was very involved in a war they had nothing to do with (Tali's dad is also a Holocaust Survivor) Conversations with Israelis are always so interesting !!!

I think every one had a good time-Eric and I sure did- enjoying the Pastis a little to much(thanks to Jeremy)Turns out I am french: ) and as a result feeling little hung-over this morning!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully a jump in the Mediterranean sea will help us : )
