random update

On my lunch break from Ulpan (Hebrew lessons) and thought I would make a list of random thoughts since my arrival in Tel Aviv:

1.  running on the beach, although torturous in terms of its difficulty, is AMAZING!
2.  Israelis are not nearly as excited to hear my attempts at Hebrew as I am to speak it
3.  apparently my passport number is required to obtain a grocery store discount card....i tried giving the dominick's number i generally use (brigitte's mom's house..) to no avail...no discount club for me!
4.  the dezengoff mall puts woodfield to shame when comparing the size...and i hate the crowds and overpriced shops that I can't possibly afford just as much.
5.  Ulpan does rock....yesterday I generally knew the alphabet, but not in script- which is how it appears everywhere in this country.  Today, I know how to read and write script surprisingly well- guess they have the format down!!  OK...back to class - lunch break is only 35 minutes...also...Happy Birthday Brigitte!!

Love to all...
