Another great weekend is over – and there's a lot to report.
First, boot camp was a good decision. We've had it twice now and I definitely think its going to help us eat more pastries. Its pretty much what I expected – we run around and in between running around we get yelled at (although are instructor is little and cute and I could totally take her) and do push ups and sit ups. Its a really good small number of people too. We had it this morning and then again Wednesday and Thursday. We're going to be buff before we know it.
Aside from working out, we've been eating and drinking and dancing. Friday, there was a street party on Rothschild – wow. I have no idea how many blocks along this street were full of people and djs and food and drink stands. It was like nothing I had ever seen before, and apparently it happens every couple of months. This video (I have no future in film...) gives you a little idea of how loud and busy it was. It sounds like we were in a club – but this is actually like 3:30 in the afternoon in the middle of a street. Nuts!
After the Street party Tam and I were lucky enough to be invited by our roommate to Shabbat dinner at her friend's house. The food was great and hopefully we made some new friends (who will invite us over for more delicious Shabbat dinners!).
Saturda,y we exceeded all of my expectations and made it to a yoga class at a place called Yogini. So awesome. I was still pretty tight from our first boot camp class and really needed the alignment and stretching that the yoga teacher focused on. After class we went for brunch at Dalal – a restaurant in Neve Tzedek that I think I have mentioned before. I tried to branch out from the Israeli breakfast which is my new favourite thing, but only managed to agree to share the Israeli breakfast and shakshuka with Tam. We spent the rest of the afternoon digesting on the beach.
Finally, today – which technically isn't the weekend – we were delighted that our only class was cancelled. This allowed us to go to boot camp, take a leisurely lunch and then run some errands. We're majorly tuckered out from all the fun and it was great to have a day to get some things done (like clean up my disaster of a room and buy groceries).
This week we have a tour of Jaffa/Yafo and Neve Tzedek and I'm sure there will be some kind of a celebration on St. Patty's day. We also need to try and get some school work done because we have a couple exams before the Passover break and, more importantly, my mom comes at the end of the week!
Current Temperature: 25°C (at 11pm)
