Post Office

Today was our first trip to the post office because we received a package from my mom! Included in the package was an assortment of wonderful things that are impossible to obtain in Israel - ice cube trays that work, a flat bed sheet, eight copies of the official songbook of the Conservative Movement (B'kol Echad), and Jen received some cute teddy bears to make our apartment more like home. Awww!

The package was shipped just a week ago, via airmail and it arrived so very quickly. If only the books would make the ship go faster and show up!

One can do many things at the post office here. Besides picking up packages, a primary reason to go to the post office is to pay bills. We received our first bill, we think it was for the telephone and Internet, so we paid it at the post office today too!

It was a fun adventure!
