My brother and his wife climbed Mt. Fuji – (photo). My parents left a city in northern Israel that was bombed later that day by militants in Lebanon — more info from my mom:
We were shocked to hear that there were bombs from Lebanon in Safed or Safet :( however you spell it… I’m not sure if that was today or yesterday, but we were there yesterday afternoon about 1 or 2 p.m. and it is only 20 miles from the Lebanon border. Our Tour Guide was talking to all the soldiers and shopkeepers, but we had no idea what he was saying since we only speak English. He spoke to us about how bad the situation was since 7 soldiers had died, but I really didn’t have any idea of the implications.
As for me, I’m loving Quebec. I played Ultimate Frisbee yesterday. Tonight I will see the band, “Live”!
