We made it. There were a few bumps along the way (we were delayed a full day in DC, weather in Philadelphia) but we are now all settled into our lovely new home. It is very nice, very large, and in a very nice area.
Most of our time thus far has been either dominated with logistics or hampered by rain. On our first free and dry day here we walked down to the Old City and wandered through the ancient streets. We marveled at the pyramids of spices displayed along side "Uzi Does It! Israeli Army" t-shirts (haven't found that one in kid sizes yet, but I'm still looking). Today we went and visited Q's new pre-school classroom and were thrilled to see the international kaleidoscope of children welcome Q with such warmth and enthusiasm. It was a scene in which, even if you hadn't the vested interest of your own child, you would still feel an undeniable hope for the future... and, really, how many pre-school classes get to go swimming once a week for P.E.?
Obviously we have much more to share, but that will have to wait until another day. On this corner of the world, it is past my bed time.
