Changing Rhythms

Chevre / Friends - I'm leaving the plush comforts of the Dan Gardens Haifa and moving to the Talia dormitory at the University of Haifa this afternoon. I asked the question whose answer I knew but didn't want to know: no air-conditioning. Ah, such a wimp. There is, of course, an Ace Hardware store at Canyon Grand. I'll be able to buy a fan that "fits" the room once I've seen it.

My luggage is already heavier. Did I tell you that there are two bookstores at the Canyon Grand? Enough said. My special find (which may be in the U.S. as well, I've just never looked) is the Tanakh (Bible) called Keter Yerushalayim - Crown of Jerusalem. It is published based on the Aleppo Codex and comes from Hebrew University. More later.

As I sat on the mirpeset/balcony/porch of the hotel - overlooking the entire harbor - such a view - a delivery truck arrived with a package for the front desk. Had the computer not been slow, I would not have been sitting there.

I read the side of the truck - and figured out (without difficulty - hooray) that they delivered packages throughout Israel and the entire world. Great. I can lighten my load on the way home. We exchanged phone numbers, etc. and one more task is checked off the list.

Not much else to report. In between adventures, I guess.
