Physics in Aspen
Sorry for this interlude, but I just wanted to make you aware of the post over at the 3rd coast. I could cut and paste it here, but this is easier: Physics in Aspen.

It's about 10,000 km from Israel to Michigan. It's mostly water, and a little land, but it's nothing we can't bridge with a satellite or some fiber optics! This site is all about keeping the Sharons and Koesters in sync. It should be a good place to talk about...whatever! If you go to Eilat, tell us about it! If you went to Canada last weekend, write a mini-novel about it here. |

one of the things i like about this country is that it has seasons. you may want to argue that there are seasons in israel too. we all learned in school that there are 4 seasons - fall, winter, spring and summer. that's a theoretical thing in israel. of course we have summer, and a mild version of winter, but the spring and fall are those 2-day seasons that don't really stay for long. i have so many "transitional season" clothes in my closet, that seemed like a great idea when i got them, but i never get to wear. the seasons are more pronounced here, and look a lot like in our first grade booklets of the seasons... the leaves actually change color and fall in the fall, everything blooms in the spring, it's cold in the winter (is -20C cold enough??) and warm in the summer.
One of the hardest thing to find here is decent hummus. I am not such a big hummus fan, since the stuff you get at the stores is usually loaded with garlic, and it's just not worth it. I can really enjoy a good bowl of fresh-made hummus,but it usually means going to Abu Gosh or interrogating the local (TA) joints about their ingredients. Another option is to make it yourself, or have your brother do it.
Finnaly it arraived.
Saturday... one of the best days in the week.
But the mission was good. no casualties. Not even safta's house, which is about 2 meters from this big tree.
finally, weekend!
1. temperatures crossed the 0(F) line (there must be something good about that, although i didn't find it yet)
