Israel

Ok I went to Israel... But it was more like coming home. I have more relatives there than in the States and my 2 week trip consisted mainly of moving from one family house to another. First to my cousin Vova from dads side, then to cousin Maxim, moms side, then to cousin Zhenya and Sagiv also mom's side but on the other side of the country. PHEW!!! Lots of maneuvering. Haifa --> Nazareth --> Ashdod --> back to --> Haifa --> Nazareth--> Ashdod --> Netherlands!

But ofcourse it wasn't all babysitting, family dinners and talks about how my great grandmother's sisters daughter... blah blah blah... There was some fun ;)

I got to spend time with my baby nephew Misha and got to chill with Maxim and his friends. All I have to say is... DAMN those boys know how to drink! I think we drank for 3 days straight... First to celebrate my arrival, then to celebrate this guy Sasha's bday, and then just for hell of it. I gotta say... Seeing my cousin wasted wasn't that great but being the only girl in the company of 4 soldier boys ... Didn't mind that one bit!

I think the best part though was coming home at 4 in the morning and sitting down with Maxim and gossiping about EVERYTHING that happened that day. Although he plays the role of my big overprotective brother... It was nice for the first 3 days but Thank GOD my own brother doesn't give a damn :P

( Maxim with his gf Katya, were still sober!)

What else happened...

Oh ya, I saw my old buddy Spencer. It was interesting considering it was easier to see him in Israel then in the US where we both live! Go Figure. It was really nice to see him and remember those crazy 2 weeks in NY... Spence if you're reading this... I still don't get how you ended up hiking home from Ashdod to Tel Aviv lol...



Ohh ya... While Spencer was hiking back I was getting stalked. Some Gruzin was following me and at one point even got out of his car and said "Devushka dorogaya padaidi suda" with this really bad accent. Thankfully 2 Israeli girls were there and I mingled with them for a while. SCARY!


(my cousin Zhenya, any takers ? lol )

Anyways... I had a blast! Partied with Zhenka at a couple of bars, repeated my yearly routine of "Marik leave me alone," and left with a great haircut and highlights ( thanks to my aunty Anya) and a FABULOUS TAN!
