My Shakshouka's a Doctor!

Drum roll, please! Finally, we went on our walking tour of Yaffo! This trip has been postponed twice due to inclement weather (the "storm" of the "century"). To be honest, after all the hype and anticipation, Yaffo kiiiinnnnddaa looked like Islands of Adventure's Lost Continent - minus the sassy talking fountain.

Bob's Israeli cousin...

It was very cool to walk around a different part of town and glimpse back at Tel Aviv from afar. It was also cool to see where Nina and I exercised not two hours earlier. (In case you were dying to know, we started at the short orange-ish building about 40% in from the left and walked right to the end of the photo and back)

Which building was yours, Jeremy?

After our brief tour, we hoofed it over to Dr. Shakshouka for a typical Boca dinner - because we ate at 4:30. According to Wiki, Shakshouka is "is a dish of eggs poached in a sauce of tomatoes, chili peppers, onions, often spiced with cumin." Career Israel folks have been raving about this dish, and felt privileged to have the opportunity to try it from a certified licensed practitioner of shakshouking. I'll have you know, I did try the shakshouka. I can honestly say, "PhD or no PhD, this dish is not for me."

There is the famous shakshouka. Looks...delicious.

Tomorrow night is Purim! I have my costume ready to go! People are already walking around in their costumes, like it's a normal thing. Nobody gives them a second look. Imagine if you were to walk around, decked out as a Smurf, on October 30th. Tomorrow night we're going to hear the Magilla reading, exchange Mishloach Manot (small gifts - kind of like a secret Santa), and go out in our costumes! JenTen, I wish you were my Secret Santa, bc I bought a small variety pack of Kinder. Yumm. (Thursday bright and early, we are moving to Jerusalem. So I will update you about Purim and the move, etc over the weekend!)

PS. I would just like to point out to anyone who is interested (MOM). This is my 15th post. Jeremy only made 10 entries. BAM.
