I get really distracted shopping, so it takes me lots of time, if that's any help. DD is a power shopper, in and out as quick as possible. I'm no longer familiar with the hotels north. Guess I'm really no help!;)
I'm that way at the grocery store. I see things and then my mind starts creating recipes and menus so I'm in the store a lot longer than I should be. :oops:

Thanks! Be sure and rest. You are really busy!
I am now well rested and back in Netanya with my relatives. Too much "day" has passed for me to make an exit to return to Jerusalem. Everything is up in the air at this point. Decisions, decisions, decisions! Yikes!

Now, that I actually have a breather, I can talk about what I'm doing in more detail. My appointment with the government Absorption Agency went well. I'm an immigrant here - a hard pill for me to swallow.

I just learned that I have a big check waiting for me in Jerusalem. So, I have to go back there any way for business, as well as for everything else.

My big reason for coming to Israel is to start a business, since Israel is the place to be now for high tech start up companies. The business I am starting will revolve around a technology I created that turns 3D video into near-holographic video (ie Princess Leigh's message to Obi Wan in A New Hope that was delivered to through R2D2).

I spoke to someone at the Ministry of Tourism yesterday about allowing me to install the technology in a 3D theater they have at the beginning of the Hezikia tunnel tour. They are very interested and gave me the contact number of the person who installed the current system.

Granted, these things take time. The company isn't even incorporated yet. So, it's a good idea to get the ball rolling so that when they are ready to act, I will be ready to deliver. Another contact number they gave me was the person who's in charge of financing. My business will be getting a government grant to develop a prototype. I was initially thinking the modifications required for this theater could come out of this grant, but if they want to pay for part of the cost, I'll let them make an offer; and then I will close the deal by offering to cover part of the expense. The company would "win" by this arrangement because it would gain a public demonstration of the technology that I would then be able to refer potential future customers to.

My brain is on business mode. Sorry, it's hard for me to switch back to ancient history mode. I'll post later about the history of the nearly 3,000 year old tunnel. Fascinating stuff, but better told when I'm in that frame of mind.

Just had a little lunchtime fun here at the office.
The guy that donated all the new wood flooring and carpeting said all he wanted in return was cookies.
Well, it was decided that all would bring in at least a dozen, and all those that brought in homemade ones would be judged (I picked up store bought on the way in this morning :oops: ;)).
Anyway, the chocolate chunk in the upper right was the winner.
How in the world the bacon snickerdoodle in the lower right didn't win, I'll never know...!!! :confused: ;) :)

Our lunch on the Rue Cler (a street that Rick Steve's recommends in his guides as having good food and a variety of shopping)
Started with some yummy bread

Hubby was excited to have Coke Zero everywhere we went in France, since that rarely happens here in the states.
