Well, I never got to see too many winter sports (seeing winter in Israel is,
well, warm...) but I do like them. I always loved to see the vaulters and high-
jumps, not to mention the gymnastics... and track too.

LOL! Our last day(s) were fun too. We usually did nothing in the last week...
and on the last two days we went to the Kineret (aka Sea of Galilee) and slept
on the beach... man, nostalgia is getting the better of me (and it was only a
year ago!)...

<grin> I meant to imply he was a dreamy guy... in Israel, when you refer to
someone as an astronaut you mean he's always in the sky, not on the ground...
Damned hebrew idioms, no-one gets them :-)
BTW, I did go to a cool school... it was an experimental school, anarchist
type of thing. Really the best school I've ever been to. And the thing is, I
actually remember 'most everything I learned there!
