Happy Thanksgiving!
Not much has happened since my last post. We had our turkey and all the trimmings yesterday. As you can imagine, Thanksgiving is only mentioned here by the American expatriates. I have to say it has been quite nice not to be inundated with all the Christmas advertising, music, etc. that is so ubiquitous this time of year.
My research at Haddassah is just about complete. However, my folk music research is pretty much stalled. I haven't been able to get anybody to return my calls or emails. But, I did find out that one of the aids in Isaac's gan (preschool) is a music major so I will be talking to him either Monday or Wednesday to see if he can help me out.
I think Isaac is getting tired of being in Israel and misses his friends in American. He's told us a few times now that he's ready to go home. I'm hoping we can take him to a few touristy places over the next couple of weeks so his time here will be a little more bearable.
Hope you all had a festive Thanksgiving.
