Yesterday we celebrated the 4th of July in Tel-Aviv. There is an American bar called Mikes Place on the beach in the city. Definitely not as lively as I would have expected, but still a fun time. During the day we went to the beach. Unlike in Florida on the 4th, we were not dodging fireworks being set off by un-supervised 8 year-olds. Tomorrow we are taking the train up to the port of Haifa in northern Israel. From there we will visit the surrounding coastal cities of Akko and Cesarea. Both contain Roman ruins from thier occupation in what was then called Palestine. Should be interesting.......I'll be sure to post some picks ASAP...The picture above is from the 4th. The guy in the black hat behind Kyle is Dan, the pro kiteboarder who I was in touch with before coming to Israel. He has been showing us all the local spots. Next to him is Tomer, a DJ in Tel-Aviv. Shy is the guy next to Kyle. All of the guys are really cool and have helped to make Kyle and I feel at home here in Israel.

Thanks for continuing with the updates sweetie. I agree with your father's comment about your writing skills. Good to be able to call you as well. Hope you enjoy your trip to the northern coast. Tom was impressed with Haifa. Love you both, Mom
