Fragmented Memories from Israel

Our Israel trip in a nutshell. I forgot to mention Masada though, which was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. I highly recommend it!

Tel Aviv Day 2

Shalom from Tel Aviv! After a hectic but successful week at the Leipzig Book Fair, G and I are on a well-deserved holiday in Israel. Tel Aviv is warm, sunny, bustling and delicious. I've already eaten two falafel sandwiches in the last 24 hours; I'll see how many more I can eat in the next 7 days. Also, curiously enough, we both got mistaken for someone and asked for directions on our second day. Something about my Japanese face must scream local (yeah, right).

Oh, and in case you're curious, this is how our stand ended up looking like at the Leipziger Buchmesse.  Somebody came by and told us our paper cloud looked like popcorn. Peoples!
