These are always a surprise to me . I seem to find out about this stuff at the last minute. Yesterday was a home front drill with air raid sirens sounding over the entire country.Wendi , Elodie and myself were hanging out in Jaffa (an ancient port city near Tel Aviv )We hardly even noticed the security drills ! We did hear the sirens but no one did any thing! Mostly because the drills were for awearness and not in remembrance . Particapation was optional (we keep shopping: ) Still it is always interesting to here the sirens air.

Taking yesterday more seriously... Caden and Mason were in school and spent most of there day going in and out of bombshelters . They also watched a 20-minute film on safety procedures. Reminds me of my elementary school in California, we always had earthquake drills and had to hide under our desks!
