Welcome friends and family!

Abby and I are so proud of Elana and thought we could use this blog to share information about her Maccabiah experience. I will post news as we get it about the US Team, the opening ceremonies, television coverage, and the gymnatics events specifically. We can then use this site to provide results, pictures and hopefully even video from Isreal in real time when we get there. Enjoy!

Akko and the Lebanon Boarder


















I'm sure Jess and Aaron will recognize the first picture! Kudos to Jess for correctly identifying Bubbee in the sunset picture.
Last night we participated in a Maccabi dinner which started with Havdalah (of course). Dara held the spice container while the Rabbi conducted the service.


We've also become quite friendly with the Koonitz's, who's son Sam is a junior boy gymnast who is coincidentally become good friends with Elana. That's all the info we have on that...

Today we visited the Lebanon boarder and the crusader town of Akko. The underground crusader city was neat, but the town of Akko is disgusting. Slow day tomorrow and then we leave... Hard to believe.

The final picture is Dara doing her favorite evening activity in the lobby of the Hotel. Thank God for wireless internet.
