I know, its been a bit since I updated...sorry!

So, my internet was down for a few days, so I apologize for the delay in updating. Pesach was nice here in Israel. I was at one of my camp friends family's for the seder, and it was very different than I was used to. I had never heard so much Hebrew in a seder in my life, so it was very shocking to hear that. Also being that they eat the Sephardic way, they had certain foods on the table that we dont usually eat on Pesach as Ashkenazi Jews. It was a bit awkward to see that at first, but I got adjusted. The week has gone well, and I have been enjoying the holiday and still was busy working the entire week.

I have decided that I really dont want to go to nursing school. I am going to apply to work for the FDNY as an EMT, and then advance to Paramedic hopefully by taking a course through them. I belong on the ambulance working with patients one on one. This is the job for me and this internship has already shown me that in such a short period of time.

As for the guys here...I have met some nice guys, but recently have been hanging out with one in particular. His name is Oded, and he lives here in Israel, but he is fluent in English. He has never been to NY before, but has lived for 6 months in Canada...and has done some other traveling as well. We have spent a lot of time getting to know each other recently, and really are getting along great. I just was with his family for Shabbat dinner, and it was a really nice evening.

I have to go get ready for my first Friday night shift in Tel Aviv. I will update again soon!

Miss you and love you all!

I'm glad to hear you mention the fire department and wonder if you know any firemen here in New York. What exactly is the job title, and can we get some information from the FDNY for you?

Now that Samantha and Cara are getting older, they are involved in so many activities, we don't get to see them as often as we would like. This is what happens in all families. I am thrilled they are playing soccer, going to karate classes, taking dancing lessons, going to so many birthday parties etc.

What's the climate like where you are now. Do you have the opportunity to swim?

Take care and keep having a good time...be careful.

Love, Aunt Arline
