Greetings from the Mid East

Last month My daughter traveled to Poland and Israel with her youth group  — and some 10,000 other teens from around the world — on a trip called The March of the Living.

This trip is for Jewish teens around the world to spend a week in Poland visiting the Death Camps and marching from Auschwitz to Birkenau on Holocaust Rememberance Day, then traveling to Israel for a week and spending Independence day there.

While she was in Israel she acquired for me a Spider-Man watch and a bar of Spidey Israeli chocolate.

How cool is that?

Unfortunately, I’m now presented with something of an impossible decision — do I preserve the chocolate for all times never eating it because it is “Spidey” chocolate, or do I (carefully) open the package and eat the candy, saving only the box in which it came...

Nope, not such a hard choice. I ate the chocolate.





***** UPDATE *****UPDATE *****UPDATE *****UPDATE *****UPDATE *****

Well, I finally got around to opening up the Israeli chocolate, and — much to my surprise — the candy itself was wrapped in Spidey wrapping. Cool, eh?


Thanks, again, Kayla!

Spidey is everywhere

Well, I might not have mentioned this, but my Son Dylan went on a two-week trip to Poland and Israel, returning on Mother’s Day. The trip, entitled March of the Living, brought 10,000 Jewish Teens from around the world together to visit the death camps in Poland, and then celebrate Independence Day in Israel. It was a very cool trip for him to attend. While there, he picked me up a little souvenir, that I wanted to share with you all.

A Spider-Man Dredel. now how cool is that? He also brought me back a Polish Happy Meal toy, as well as a some Israeli Cock bottles, and yeah, some gifts for his mom, and sister (he’s good like that).
