fresh fruit juice

Today we were invited for lunch at my supervisor's place. We walked off our lovely chulent with a stroll around campus - what a great excuse to excessively pick citrus fruits...

grapefruits!

LOTS of oranges!

and then we found the clementine tree...

time to juice our fruits!

the juicer is my new favorite gadget!!

PURE citrus mix (grapefruits, oranges & clementines)

no sugar, no preservatives added!!

fleamarket in old Jaffa

Last Friday we went to Old Yaffa in Tel Aviv, specifically the lovely flea market. If only we had our new flat already and some kind of budget, I could have bought half the market with all its pretty things! In the end I only went home with a set of Hamsas (חמסה) for my family and a huge earring holder for all my treasures!

Jona's babylamb

last weekend we met Jonathan, one of Nisim's many cousins. Jonathan's family is big in the sheep insemination business and once in a while he brings us a newborn baby lamb to play:

The Weizmann Institute is a great place for a daily fruit-picking routine!
