Visiting President Peres

Peres Speaks
One day during Sukkot break we visited President Peres along with several thousand of his best friends.  A tradition here that during Sukkot the President opens up his residence and Sukkah to the public.  Supposedly everyone also gets the chance to shake his hand.  Long lines for everything and so much speechifying and performances before the main event - we got bored and left but it was fun to see his house. The Ministry of Agriculture is on a big healthy living kick so they handed out little packets of a tomatoes, a cucumber and a pepper.  Good photo ops, if nothing else.
