We're Back.. |

And here to stay...
Things are looking good for 3cities despite our financial woes. Tamir landed at Ben-Gurion airport just three days ago where Dave was there to meet him with open arms and a pocket full of hummus. Like a recovering alcoholic, we immediately got back on the wagon and returned to Ben-Gurion the very next day to film Yaniv’s arrival in Israel after almost two months in Brazil with his girlfriend, daughter, and parents. His departure did not go undocumented either, as our Brazilian counterparts Rio Taruma Produções were there to see him off and film the emotional goodbyes. No doubt this will be a crucial cinderblock in the foundation of our movie.
We are getting accustomed to life as Israelis know it. Tamir purchased a second, possibly third-hand narcoleptic Pelefone which constantly flutters between ‘On’ and ‘Off’. Very quickly did we learn that contracts in Hebrew are not necessarily legally binding and it is rude not to cut in line. On a more serious note, this afternoon we were cut in line at the post office by an elderly woman who we soon learned to be a Holocaust survivor. It was an extremely powerful experience and one that left both of us speechless and dumbfounded. We left that post office with a different appreciation of what it means to be Israel.
With that, we must head to the Yam (ocean) before the meduzot (jellyfish) take over…
Shabbat Shalom
