Once inside the Weizmann Institute computer science building, Nathan gave us the grand tour. Displayed in his building's lobby there's the first electronic computer in the Weizmann Institute and first in Israel back in the early 50's. When we explained to Anabelle what it was she commented, "that's daddy's computer. You can't put that on your lap, too big." I guess she's seen us with the laptop often enough.
When we finally made it to Nathan's office, Anabelle made herself comfortable and decided she would stick around for a bit to help daddy do his work.
On our way home we stopped in a couple of places. The Weizmann campus is pretty big and the walk home can be a bit much for Anabelle, so we take a lot of breaks as we go along.
One of Anabelle's favorite places is called the Jubilee Plaza. She says it looks like a castle.
This is some kind of memorial, but Anabelle says they look like robots. She likes pretending to be a robot (yes, can you believe she knows what "pretend" means. This girl is growing too fast).
The sun here is scorching hot (it's mid September and we are still in the high 80s on a daily basis) and so we take as many "shady" short cuts as we can, this is one of them. There is a small pond with bamboo shoots all around it. It's peaceful and pretty.
This is another favorite place. Anabelle thought it would be a good spot to stop and read for a bit.
She also loves to pick flowers as we go. Even though Rehovot is very arid, the Weizmann goes to great efforts to make its grounds green and flowery.
Walking around here, you almost can't tell you are just north of a great desert.
