2nd week of living in Jerusalem

Hi, we've been here 2 weeks already - it seems like eons ago since we left California! Today (Monday, 5/7/07) one of the professors took some of us couples to the Suq market - an outdoor Jewish market. It was great fun. Both sides of the streets are filled with people selling their fruits, vegetables, meats, nuts, wares. I liked it much better than the roadside markets we've been to. The food is fresher and more of it. We will probably go there again many times.

Last night was the 3rd concert since we've been here and the best one! It was a trio (vocal, horn, piano). The singer sang opera songs, and music from West Side Story, Candide and Porgy and Bess. They were outstanding - even Dad loved them! She becomes the music when she sings - no matter what style it is. The horn player (her husband) had wonderful control and tone, and the pianist was out of this world - and a showman himself. I wish you could have all been in the audience with us.

Today I'm going to make our famous banana oatmeal muffins - we need something familiar from our past. We think of you at home. Please write or comment - we'd love to hear from you!!! -Janet
