Northern Israel

I'm currently in northern Isral near the border of Lebanon and Israel. Thankfully, no rockets like last summer though.

I'm here visiting "ex-Olga" (my uncle's ex-wife whose name is the same as his new wifes - so that's what he calls her). She lives on a kibbutz (which is like a mini socialist village) with her boyfriend and their huge poodle named Gulliver. We're here for the day before returning to Haifa, where we are staying with my grandmother.

An update for Anat - Grandma is definitely getting senile. She keeps calling me Amit (the new cousin's name). But at least she has a sense of humor about it. She is quite funny and jovial.

Ada (our aunt) is looking well. I'll post pictures tomorrow when i have better internet access). Adam is a punk ass 18 year old with a bad attitude. I think his girlfriend is a cokehead. Eldar is cute and nice but sensitive. He's 16 now and will be handsome but you can tell he has a said air about him. Amit, the 3 year old, is a freakin handful. She's spoiled and willful. I wasn't even there half an hour and she nearly pulled my hair out (literally) and told me i was UGLY.

I am stricken by how insane our family really is. From top to bottom!

Anyway, that's all for now. Will write more later!
