Settling In

Finally, my first real posting in Returns.  Life is good.  I live surrounded by beautiful vistas since Jerusalem is built along  hill tops overlooking mostly lush and green valleys. "Dog alley," where Gus and I join the other owners with canines tending to their needs, overlooks Bustania Park and beyond to other neighborhoods peering back at Kiryat Yovel, where I live on Korzchak Street. Here's a pic of Gus visiting "Dog Alley" and a view from my sizeable patio outside my front door. On sunny days I drink my coffee and say good morning to others walking dogs (someone's always walking a dog) and heading for work.  As you can see, in warm weather I can hear one neighbor's alarm clock and also get to listen in on another neighbor's late night karaoke party, full volume.  But I enjoy this. Everyone says hello and now Gus is on nose to nose terms with the local dogs. Their humans ask about my whereabouts if I'm absent for a few days.  Very cosy.

First Things

Returns.  Returning. Coming Home. Home again in Israel.
