Hannukah Fun!!!

So this past week of Hannukah saw the arrival of my parents and sister. They landed last Saturday and we promptly went to Jerusalem to see the fam and light some candles. On Tuesday I had the day off from classes, so I kicked it with my sister in Tel Aviv. First, we hit up the new Hummus place on King George St. Very good, but I would not recommend the Foul.
Then we went to Sheinkin St, which is in the heart of the city. It used to be drab and low-budge, but now it's all boutiques and coffee shops and packed with people, slightly like the Upper Haight area... The street even has it's own website, which is actually quite impressive, in English and in Hebrew. Check it out here. After Sheinkin we went to the Shuk, which is a 3 minute walk away, and was VERY crowded that afternoon.

Later, we walked uptown to meet my mother, who fully ditched us for lunch to hang out with her girlfriend (but can you blame her?). We met her and her friend at this fancy coffee shop and chatted for a bit, and then went across the street to Rolandin Bakery to get the really fancy sufganiot. They fully opened up a street vendor stand, on the back side of the bakery, and the line was substantial. Granted, the sufganiot were much tastier than the ones from the Super, but also really expensive. A buck forty for a donut.
Then, that night at ultimate practice, we lit candles on the field, which was a riot. Itamar is lighting, Helen on the left, and Micki is sitting tying his cleats.
I'll post more photos from the week tomorrow or Saturday.
No, Jacob, for the last time, my sister does not want to date you, nor your brother. She told me to tell you to tell him to stop calling her.

Benny, I'm going to link to your blog, if that's ok with you.
