Dear Jessica

How are you, good to hear you are having fun in your grandparents house, and that your are fine in general.

Fatma and Ima made some Sushi today, it went out pretty well.

Dior and Yoni went down to Eilat that weekend for their honeymoon.
They are married for a couple of years already but they didn’t have money to do it when they got married. Now they earn enough to do it. Although it is winter here, Eilat is warm and sunny because it is in the middle of the desert, and lying to the shore of the red sea. So if you are sick from the cold and the rain, you can take a 2 hours bus and it is summer again.

It was Chanukah vacation that week (If I remember right your grandparents are Jewish, you can ask them about it. )

Fatma spent it hanging out with her friends and her something like a boyfriend and most of the time doing nothing.

Guri went out to a 3 days hike with the scouts. They had a big rock show at the end of the trip (Aba went down to be with him their, because he is supervisor of the scouts  in the neighborhood).

Guri came back, set down on a chair and said : “scissors, give me scissors”:
“What for?”
“I want to cut my dreadlocks”
Half an hour latter (and dozens of louse later) he became a 12 year old boy again, but a lot taller.

I don’t knew why he did it. He said he had it enough already. Aba said what he always says when Guri does something strange “He is in love” (He also said it when Guri sat  down in the balcony and read a book…). Couple of months ago his friends from the scouts rise up 2300 shekels (400 American Dollars) and offered him to cut down his hair and he refused.

So why he did it? Maybe he’s growing up.

He is also no longer vegetarian, He started eating meat half a year ago, after 5 years he refused to even smell it.

Take care.
Gad
