| :: January 2018 :: |
| Ski day! I have been pretty much out of commission since the ski accident in 2015 - we did ski once in 2016 to get back in the saddle but I was terrified and shaking and the conditions were crap. Not worth it. And 2017 the snow conditions were not favorable and with Joe's doctorate and my travel schedule impossible anyway. But finally the snow Gods looked down upon us and we had a window in our calendars...it was a wonderful day - sunny - a lot of snow and so nice to have a ski date with my honey since most of my time is spent with colleagues these days and most of his time is spent with books. Prato Nevoso, Italy 28 January 2018 I leave for the States tomorrow - so excited to get to see Avalon & friends & colleagues. Traveling a lot & having fun ~ home, where I woke up this morning 1 February 2018 |
| Lovely Tel Aviv for work and play 16 - 21 January I had hummus in my hair |
| :: food frenzy narration:: Above: Sherry Herring at the Tel Aviv Port Market - herring sandwich (insanely yum) and a shot of vodka. 10.00 AM it's tradition, can't say no. Above right: Sabich - eggplant, egg, cabbage, it is so amazing. Right: Abu Hassan, line out the door - they yell: Yalla! Yalla! (C'mon hurry up and eat!) This day they were yelling to hurry up, pay and get out because it was Shabbat. Watch the Netflix show Someone Feed Phil - it shows these places live |
