June has flown by. It was a busy month full of wondering what we would be doing after our contract ends here this summer and, for Zach, visiting our first nephew!!!
Zach meeting super adorable Caleb in Ottawa. I can't wait to see him this summer!
While Zach was gone I kept myself 'busy' by going to the beach. But it's not as fun by yourself :)
(these tables must have been designed for people with giantly long torsos....)
We walked back along the beach for a while - that is Jaffa Port in the blurry distance. Trying to use every opportunity to walk barefoot in the sand beside an ocean before we leave. I'm going to miss these beaches when we move back to Canada next month!

It is full blown hibiscus season here - they line all the sidewalks and surround the benches. I love it!
When Zach got back, we went to a Formula 1 event in Jerusalem. They were showing off some cars and bikes around a circuit near the Old City.
This is the only picture I got as one roared past us - it was hard to time! It was also super loud, although according to Zach, not even close to what they sound like during a real race - crazy!
I've never seen Jerusalem so crowded - it was a great atmosphere.
Cooling off with ice coffees from Aroma's, mmmm. They also had an awesome spot to watch from 'hidden' in one of their garden terraces :)
Another car picture - this was easier to catch because he was doing donuts.
Then, last night we went out for our 2nd anniversary :) We found a super cute little tapas restaurant that is inside a historic train station complex (ca. 1892-1948)...sort of fitting considering we were married in a historic train station ;) It used to be the main Israel (Palestine) station taking mainly immigrants and cargo from Jaffa port to Jerusalem. It was renovated and just opened as a tourist spot last year. It's mostly cute restaurants and little stores now.
You can't see it from the picture, but the restaurant is outside under a giant tree similar to the one behind us, but even bigger. Tapas is fun! I'd never been to a tapas restaurant before, loved it!
