Last Thursday, Following our enthusiasm from Kaveret show, we went to another Israeli performer show, this time of David Broza. To admit the truth, I did not expect too much. I usually don’t like Israeli singers that sing at language other them Hebrew and I was not aware of many songs by David Broza. To my surprise that was an excellent show. David Broza is an extraordinary performer. He got to the stage like a 20 year old, first show performer. To cite the famous line from the movie “grandma operation”, he starts by giving 100% and from that point on he just accelerated.
The show was conducted at the Kennedy School of Government and was planed and executed by the Israeli Caucus. That is a Kennedy school affiliated organization that promoted the awareness to the many faces of Israel, its rich diversity and achievements.

KAVERET's show in Boston
On Sunday we went to see old KAVERET band show. The stars were Gidi Gov, Danni Senderson, Efraim Shamir and Alon Oleartchik. 
To start from the end, we wend out with a big smile on our faces saying "Oh, those were the days…". It was not because of seeing almost all of our Israeli friends at one night reminded us of the Independence day celebrations in Israel. It was due to the great show we got, listening to the hits we grew up with and having Gidi and Danni giggling to the microphone. Even Alon Oleartchic had something (strange) to say. For the Trivia lovers among you: he was a student at the Barkley Academy of Music here at Boston. 
Since each of the singers had a single career after KAVERET we also got to hear some of there own songs like “Shiur Moledet” which is one of my favorite.
It certainly made us wait impatiently to the next show!!!

Skiing with Melissa and Jim
Two weeks ago we went to Vermont with Jim and Melissa. The professor we are both working for allowed us to stay in his house there which is a wonderful place with a view of a nearby frozen river.
Being in Vermont I felt like in another country. First it was snowy. There was a 10” snow at village we stayed in and it was still snowy. In Boston it was hardly raining with only remains of snow and the temperature was much higher. Second the village atmosphere was a big change from the city life and even people seemed to go in a different pace. It is very nice to have that kind of atmosphere change once in a while (especially when it is that close).
The day after arrival we spent at Sugarbush ski resort. The weather was great with fresh snow keep purring all day. The resort is big and we got to use one of the longest lifts I ever used. It was more then 2 miles long, the ride took 14 minutes and there were 3 climbing parts and 2 downhill parts (we crossed 2 mountains on the way).
It is currently one of my top picks for ski resorts North America.
BTW: I added a picture of me doing a ski jump. It is from a different ski resort but I just thought it is a cool picture.

Trip to the New England Aquarium
Few weeks ago we went to the New England Aquarium with Orit Nitzan and Ben. It was a package deal with Quincy market at the end. 
I must admit that it was more enjoyable then I anticipated (and I am not writing that because Orit and Nitzan are reading the Blog!). Apparently this is an animal friendly aquarium. They host previously wounded animals and keep them in an environment that mimics their natural habitat. 
It was very funny to watch the penguins stare at you standing on rocks in the middle of an artificial pool, especially when suddenly artificial rain started from hidden sprinklers.
Another interesting show was the one on Jellyfish. Apparently with global worming they become a serious treat to the ocean animal equilibrium. This is the place to recommend watching Al Gore movie – inconvenient truth.
