Thankfully we have a break in the rain and storms. I am spending every minute I can at the beach as our Israeli clock is ticking!! Should be home first part of June. While I will miss living near the beach. Simple things at home are going to be so nice to get back to!
1) central heating and air- we have one unit source of heat or cooling in our apt.
2) hot water- here we have to flip a switch on a boiler and wait 30 min for the water to warm before showering. As I am not a fan of the cold shower. However in the summer the water heaters are solar so if there is sun u will have warm water.
3) Fred Meyer one stop shopping- I routinely have to go to two or three stores just to get stuff to cook meals..
4) cooking with a vent/fan - lacking here so we often share our love of eating bacon with our apt complex.. Guess what the non-Jews are eating pork.. Again!
5) walking on a sidewalk without scooters or cars- I routinely have to get out of the way or get ran over.. And cars are often parked on the sidewalks leaving pedestrians to navigate for themselves!
Relo has been wonderful but as you can see there are some things we take for granted at home in the good ole US!
