Hi Faina, I so enjoyed reading your fantastic report regarding your trip to Isreal. You obviously had a wonderful time and it sounds like you were well fed!! I am sorry about the broken tooth but thank goodness that didn't happen until you were almost home.

Faina~ I very much enjoyed your report. I regret not traveling there with my mom in the early 80's. I had several pen pals there, including one special one in the army who she went to visit, bringing gifts from Alaska for his family.
I am hoping that I will get another chance to make that trip, meaningful to me for many reasons. Thank you.

Okay Faina,lol.. I didn't fully explain.. I was trying to remember some of my mom's pet phrases from yesteryear, like mensch and whatnot!
As a matter of fact and history, her dad emigrated from Russia as a young man. Her married my grandmother, but it was her sister that he was SUPPOSED to have married. So I do have Russian heritage,, and you are right, I should learn some Russian.
My mom was fluent in several languages and traveled from one corner of the globe to another during her life. Me, I managed some sixth grade Spanish and called it good!
Oh, I do miss the lovely South African accent which I heard during a visit there to meet three generations of relatives who settled from Eastern Europe at the turn of the century.
