Levin-Santalone Visit Continues

Levin Santalones in Ein Kerem
We are having fun with Michelle's sister and her family. Toby and Gabriella get to hang out and make mischief with their cousins and show them the wonders of Jerusalem.  Today we took them to Ein Kerem and they went to Yad Vashem.  Tomorrow we head to Tsfat for the first night of Hanukkah.

While I have been enjoying my Klezmer fiddle lessons, I miss listening to my music. I probably should have bought a docking station for my iPod when I got here but our experience with purchasing 'gear' in Israel is that it is poorly constructed and very expensive.  So I have been relegated to the CD collection at the house, which leaves me with the likes of Shlomo Artzi - 'My Love Songs'.  But there are a few discs of interest so I have been alternating between Queen - Greatest Hits (not my favorite), Amy Winehouse - Back to Black (very good) and, Baruch Hashem, Joni Mitchell - Blue. This latter is a brilliant album, one of my favorites. And I certainly have developed an appreciation for James Taylor's guitar playing on California, All I Want and A Case of You.
