Passover part 1

I promised a posting and some photos, so I will begin at the beginning... Two Friday's ago, right after I had my midterm in Macro B, I went straight up to Jerusalem for the beginning of my Passover break. My sister came to town on Wed. of that week. Friday we saw my fathers side of the family, then on Saturday we drove to Haifa to see my mother's side of the family. Below is a photo of little cousin Uri and I from that saturday, who has started walking. My sister took this photo of Uri smacking me in the face and thoroughly enjoying himself (look at the smile on his face). We drove back Saturday night, and I spent Saturday and Sunday in Tel Aviv. Sunday night was fun, as I went out with my friend from NYC Sari, who was in town with her whole family. Her parents even joined us at the bar for a drink (way to go mom and dad!)

Monday morning I went back up to Jerusalem with my sister for Passover Seder, which was held at the house of my father's cousins... I am not familiar with that side of the family, and I also haven't seen them in many many years, but we had a good time. It was the first time ever that all 4 of the grandchildren were all in Israel for Passover (see the photo below that my grandfather took of us between the meal and dessert).
Needless to say my grandmother was ecstatic to have all 4 of us there. Below is a photo that I took of my grandparents from that night. Look at my grandfather with his hand on my grandmothers shoulder... still the charmer I guess!
Needless to say it was an interesting affair, especially considering that I have it again next year with the same people.

My next post will be about the ridiculous 2 day trip we took to the North... and I am slowly going through the process of uploading all of the photos to flickr. I've maxed out my bandwidth for now, so it might take some time.
