Final prep to come home

The coolish, dry weather continued through Shabbat, so it was nice to have the windows open and hear the minion in a nearby apartment do the prayers. BTW, those roses didn't even make it through Shabbat.

My friend Pat sent me her photos, so here's a photo of us with Anton at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

Today the humidity returned with a vengeance, so it's in the air conditioning for me.  I went and got halvah to bring home (cinnamon and coffee), and got cleaned up for my lunch with Yeshai Boasson, who is head of the MIT Alumni Club here in Israel. He came in from Modiin to meet with me.

Tonight, I will get the suitcase packed and checked for weight.  Tomorrow I fly.
