Happy Halloween!!


Living so close to Salem, Massachusetts last year it was hard to miss Halloween when people were decorating their houses as if it were Christmas. This year had brought so many new learning experiences and changes living in Israel...and forgetting about Halloween is one of them. I knew the crazy holiday was coming up but it slipped my mind until a friend of mine reminded me this morning. It turns out we are having a bit of a halloween party on campus tonight which is promising pumpkin pie and hot apple cider. I'm looking forward tasting a bit of the autumn season in a cup of hot apple cider and am appreciating the relief of the newly cooler weather. It doesn't cool down much until evening, but it is much appreciated. At any rate, enjoy the candy and celebration of the fall season. We're doing our best to remember it isn't perpetually summer, but I'm sure my plans to go sit on the beach and swim with dolphins at the Red Sea is not helping such a cause. Oh well, when in Rome...
