It was too hard to keep posting while Mom was here (plus, i think most people that read this were getting her emails about what we were doing anyway). It was really nice to have her here and show her around. I really should have paid more attention to the tour guides when we took trips with the ulpan or on brithright because we went to a lot of the same places. It was fun though to point out the things that I liked or thought were interesting. It was funny to see the things that I have gotten used to in the past 5 months that were weird and different for her.
Unfortunately for her, she's back in the cold winter weather at work and I'm still here enjoying the sun and relaxing.

Mom in Israel I
Mom's here! It is great to see her.
The past few days we have been driving all over the north of Israel. First day we went to Rosh HaNikra with my friend from the ulpan to see the grottos. The caves were really cool and the water was so blue there.
It was such a nice day that we decided to go take a walk on the beach and watch the sunset.
Then then today we drove around in the Golan Heights a little bit and then went to Tsfat.
Tomorrow we are going to the kibbutz. I think for Mom's whole trip, this is the day I am most looking forward to. I'm excited for her to see where I was all this time and meet some people that she has been hearing about.

London
Last week in London was a lot of fun. We walked around and went to all the major spots. The last time I was in London we did a lot in like two days. This time I could go back to the places I liked and spend a little more time there and see some new things. The two best parts: The Churchill Museum and seeing Wicked. I was really surprised by the Churchill Museum but it was really interesting and really well done. I would definitely suggest going there. Going to shows is always a treat and it was fun to go to a big musical and I had been wanting to see Wicked for a while. I haven't had a chance to get the pictures off of my camera but i'll put some up soon.
I had a great time in London but it was amazing how quickly I missed the kibbutz and everyone there. When I got back to Israel last night, I got the warmest homecoming from my friends here. I was really nice. I was only gone for four days but we treated it (and it felt) like I had been away for much longer.
Now on to the next phase of my post-ulpan plan...this afternoon I picked Mom up for the airport. It is great to see her! I'm excited to start doing/seeing stuff with her tomorrow.
