Max Brenner, Aroma, and Schnitzel

Sorry I'm posting so late, up being nervous for tomorrow eek! Anyways today started with breakfast again chocolate rugalach and coffee nummy nummy! Then we all hung out around the house and in the afternoon went to lunch. Lunch is the biggest meal in Israel and it is a bit later than in the states, around 3-4 oclock. We went into Tel Aviv, which was just beautiful and super cute, a lot of little restaurants. We ended up going to Max Brenner, a familiar place to me, Max Brenner is a chocolate factory that I had been to before on Muss for our girls night out. There I had schnitzel with french fries, and I ordered a diet coke because I needed the caffiene, yeah no ice in the drinks in Israel...strange I know! Also we had dessert, chocolate fondue with fruits and marshmallows it was delicious! After lunch we walked down the street where we had eaten and it was raining, but it was nice because it's been pretty hot.
We took a little detour on the way home and went the "scenic route" where we drove right along the Mediterranian Sea and I saw the Tel Aviv beach, very pretty. We also drove through where famous people/artists/musicians etc. live and it was just beautiful. After this we drove home and took a little detour through the dirt roads, only in Israel can you go offroading and when you see a sidewalk drive over the sidewalk and merge onto the road! But let me tell you it was fun, we were all having a very fun time! When we got home we dropped off the boys and me, Pelleg and Caryn were on a mission for some things I needed. We first went to electronic store where they sold washing machines, televisions, phones, radios, and yes hair straighteners and hair dryers in an electronics store! Here I had to get a straightner because my brand new one died out because of the different voltage in Israel. The cheapest hair straightner is about 65-75 dollars which is a lot compared to the ones we can find at Target in the states, also the cheapest hair dryer was 30 dollars, quite a lot of such a tiny hair dryer but oh well! After this we ventured to the Canyon(mall in Hebrew, yes I'm learning and remembering) to pick up some more things I needed. One of my boots mysteriously went missing in my bag(a.k.a it fell out when they went through it somewhere) but no worries I got a lovely new pair! Malls open at around 7 pm and stay open till around 11 on Saturdays, they are not open during the days on Saturday because it is Shabbos. Also I forgot all of my socks at home so I managed to get a few pairs as in 2 that costs me 20 dollars for 2 pair, I will have my mom send me the rest, it's getting real expensive to be here haha! We also went shopping for Pelleg, she got the cutest clothes and it was so fun to help pick them out! After this we left the mall and headed home. I hung out with the kids, and Pelleg and I looked through old photos, it was great! I took a shower a while ago, and Caryn and I have been hanging out since! It's so great having such amazing family in Israel! Anyways it's really late and I have a big day tomorrow meeting all of my future Livnot family! I will try to write tomorrow when in Tzfat but I can't guarantee I will have the time or the Internet on my computer on campus, but I'm sure I can find a coffee shop close by! I miss you all but I'm ready to start this new adventure and all it has to offer! I love you all!
