The Day After Thanksgiving

Today we went to the mall! Wow! It was huge, it had so many stores, and it was so crowded! It felt like the day after Thanksgiving in the United States. It was incredibly overwhelming with all the Hebrew conversations, all the shopkeepers shouting to us, all the fancy stores and their wares, the bright lights, etc., etc., etc.

We bought a few things - a bath mat for our temporary quarters because of the aforementioned flooding shower, a wall map of the world with city and country names in Hebrew (I love it!), a pair of shoes for Jen, a plethora of kippot, and, the best buys of all - Monopoly and Boggle in Hebrew! It was so exciting to find these two games at the mall's Toys 'R Us (which was the smallest Toys 'R Us we'd ever seen). Our purpose for going to the mall was to see a movie (more about that later) but it turned into an incredible experience!
