First rain in Tel Aviv - surprise!
First rain in months...
Dear Citizens of the World,
Tel Aviv has seen rain! This is news indeed. After three months in Isreal we have not seen a drop of rain...until last week.
It was not much of a rain -- only lasted ten minutes and it only got things wet enough to make the months of dust become mud after evaporating ten minutes later-- but it was enough to actually be called rain.

What would be a non-event in my other homes, is a big event in a desert. Tel Aviv's total average rainfall for the months of June, July and August combined is Zero!

Our reason for being here is directly related to Israel's lack of rain, but it is one thing to see it on paper and another thing to experience it in real life.
I sudenly feel thirsty....
