Israel, Israel, Israel!

Last weekend we took maybe one of our favorite trips to date, and definitely our most secret!  We didn't want to worry anyone by telling them we were going to Israel, and after having it canceled on our cruise, we didn't want to jinx anything.

Looking back, it was probably a good thing it was canceled on our cruise because we wouldn't have been able to enjoy as much of Israel as we were able to this time.  We were pleasantly surprised by quite a few things: how nice all the people were, pretty much everyone speaks passable English, the range in landscape and climate is amazing for such a small country, and the security we felt the whole time we were there.  And while I'm sure the citizens of Israel are aware of the threat of Syria and fighting on a daily basis, they are definitely not living in fear, which is a bit how the media portrays it, I think!

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun: In Marseille

Last week, I took a little girls trip to Marseille with my friends Val and Lillian.  Although the weather was not quite as ideal as we had hoped, we still saw some sunshine and a great time laughing and relaxing.

Les Vacances

Ah yes, it's that time again, school holidays!  I'm becoming quite accustomed to these 2 week breaks every 6 weeks! :)  And I know, you might say, well you don't work or have a set schedule so why does it matter?  While that's mostly true, I still do have a pretty set schedule, especially now that I've started French classes 4 times a week for 2 hours, and I find these 2 weeks breaks amazing!
