Seeing the Sites in Israel

This past weekend we rented a car and saw some classic Israeli sites:
IKEA

McDonalds

While these may sound like places that pathetic lost Americans might go, they really did have an Israeli feel... all of the burgers at McDonalds had the US names, but transliterated into Hebrew script. And if you look at the IKEA sign, it too is transliterated (look on the side of the building). Also where in the US can you spend $30 to get just 2 small burgers and a happy meal. And lastly, when was the last time you had a kosher Big Mac? Unfortunately, we didn't have time to stop at Toy's 'R' Us, ACE hardware, or Office Depot before returning the car.

Hey guys!! It's so fun to see pictures of you in Israel - I can't WAIT to see more.

Gabe still talks about Anabelle constantly, but now when he looks at your house he says "Anabelle's house! Oh...Anabelle in Washington BC, Israel." Though lately his preferred solution to missing Anabelle is to point to himself and say, "I'm Anabelle! Mommy is Maria, and Daddy is Nate."
