Shavuot Came Early This Year! (:/)
We tried to go to the Technion today to work today, but apparently tomorrow is Shavuot and so in keeping with the timing of Shabbat, as far as transportation and stores is concerned, and also with some similarity to holidays in the states, the day before was a half day off. In some cases, and especially with the Technion, the campus offices were closed (this much we could tell by the locked doors!). Asher called and said explained that he didn’t realize that the building would be closed. He came and met with us, updated on some upcoming schedule updates and then we arranged a shuttle pickup to head back home.
We will have Wednesday off, do some work, and then likely head down to the beach. I can never get tired of heading down the beach. The only hard part is deciding whether to walk down (about 30 minutes downhill) or take the shuttle for 6.40 shekels (about $2). Of course, we will be doing some work, but we’ll see how that goes. The work mix between our Israeli counterparts and Shawn and I is a constant challenge that we are slowly getting comfortable with.
