Hello, y'all!
Today, Dad and I went down to downtown Haifa! It was very cool, but we went slow because Dad threw out his back on Tuesday the 10th. We took the bus, and then, half-purposely got lost. Dad said, and this is a direct quote "when we were lost, I never really was lost, because I was found, at the same time. It was very exciting, because when you're lost, you don't have anywhere to be, and you can take part in the things around you...there's a difference between being lost, and not knowing where you are. Me, I'm not lost, I just don't know where I am. " Well, that's just about as much as I could get/remember with my brain and meager typing skills.
We walked around a lot when we were downtown. We got some kebab, which is really a sandwich that has Italian-style bread and some kind of meat, (mystery meat that's NOT spam...which reminds me of the broadway show called Spamalot by Monty Python that Dad and I saw while we were in New York. Anyway, back to business...) and whatever else you choose from the array of selections. Quite good, actually. Like the shish kebab without the shish... :D
We also found a really cool bookstore called Hamartef (which means basement). It is so awesome. The guy there is really nice. He has all these tatoos, but isn't the least bit scary. Maybe I should give him my blog site so he can see that I mentioned him...I expect he'll juct start laughing.
Well, I should probably go now. Toodles, for now!
Why the Blog?
These days everyone wants to travel the world. As kids and teens we dream about it. As adults we might often think about it, but never find the time. We dream, but few of us ever reach our goal. I am one of those few.
Soon, starting September 4 , my dad and I are going overseas to three places-Israel, Thailand and Prague, Czech Republic. Well, those are where our homes are going to be, but we will be traveling in Egypt, Sweden, and other places. We will stay in each place for about three months.
I am an eleven-year-old girl named Rachael. My father is Philip and my mother(who is not coming for the whole trip but is visiting) is Margie. In this blog I will keep you posted about events. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Hi Rachael,
Sounds like you are having a great time. We really like your quote from your dad said about being lost. You a really lucky to be there. I'm sure there are some great adventures to come.
