Good Peeps

We met with our future subletees last night for dinner. They are good people! We met at Motley Cow for dinner and I think both Naomi and I were taken aback when they were about 10 years older than we expected - I would say mid 50s. After about 10 minutes of introduction and awkwardness common in any first-time meeting, we got along quite nicely. We chatted about medicine, our common ground, but a couple of glasses of wine/beer/water (Naomi - who had to work), we were talking about how Naomi and I met, their grown up children, our dogs, and even more interesting conversation as dinner progressed. By the end of the evening Dr. Dunn was telling us about how he was in anatomy class when he found out JFK was killed and how Robert Kennedy was killed the day before their wedding. Very surreal. Our house will be in good hands.

Thanks to Jordan's Courier Service, we'll be getting our dogs to Ames this weekend and keys to us. A Slutzki family friend is giving us unlimited access to their house in Haifa for whenever we need it. This will allow us to have free housing for the last week of our trip, which is great! We'll still probably end up staying in hotels a couple of nights for convenience, but it's a fabulous offer. I also looked up wifi hotspots so that I can keep my "incredibly interesting" blog going while abroad. Hopefully the change in culture will add some interest.

By the way: "It's my last day of work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
