Topic: Hello to Aug. 2006
Well, as a result of the recent violence in Israel, my friends have cancelled their wedding. It was planned to be in Haifa, and that is certainly out of the question, as almost everyone in the city has either moved into a bomb shelter or has relocated south towards Tel Aviv or other cities. There was a possibility of moving the wedding, but now Israel is calling up tens of thousands of reservists to fight against Hezbollah, and that means that the groom, who is Israeli, would risk being drafted the moment he landed in Israel. He actually wants to go back and fight, but his family won’t allow him.
So I’ll decide shortly whether or not to go to Israel anyways, or cancel my trip there and spend the 2 extra weeks in the UK.
more to come…
