The rain has arrived (finally/again)! A nice brisk rain blanketed the Greater Jerusalem area on Sunday, just in time to wet our laundry again... unfortunately, it didn't last. However, the weather seems to have turned considerably cooler nevertheless.
Esther got her drivers' license! One lesson, one test, and lots of money - but she's got the license. She's almost finished with her doula course, though as I understand it she has more to do before she gets a license for that.
She also went on a very interesting trip to Ir David (the City of David), which is an archaeological preserve, and got to participate in an archaeological dig. She took pictures, but I haven't put them up on the web just yet (check back later...)
At the moment we have no water (even though it rained earlier in the week), because a pipe broke in the bomb-shelter (where the third family in the house lives). Presumably a plumber (in-sta-LA-tor in Heblish) is working on it, but he looks far too clean and relaxed to be a plumber. In the even he doesn't succeed in fixing it before Shabbat comes, we did go and buy some 20 liters of drinking water. Stuff happens ...
Though she won't admit it, Sarah is having a better time of it than she was before. Her Hebrew is improving, and she's enjoying her classmates more. She's understanding more of what's going on in school as well.
I've been "head down" in work all week, so there isn't much of interest to say about me specifically. Hopefully I'll finish my current task this coming week and will be able to move on to bigger and better things.
