Where is the Sherut to Rehovot?

After Ulpan, I headed to the supermarket.  I decided to buy hummus.  Yesterday, I didn't look closely, and instead bought a giant tub of Baba Ghanoush.  Still good, but in small quantities only.  Hummus though, you can pile onto everything.  Hummus on crackers, hummon on pita... hummus in your wine... it's great everywhere!
(maybe not the wine, unless it is white wine, which can only improve)

Bought lots of vegetables, and then decided I didn't feel like cooking, so I made myself a plate of hummus, with a couple of olives, and some pita (see!) and was full in no time.

I decided to make a trip to Rehovot, which means I needed to find the sherut.  It's one of those things where you remember seeing one pass you, but you can't remember where.  It was Herzl street.  Now though, I have an idea of where it goes, and I think I could pick it up closer to the apartment.

I have been really impressed with the eclectic taste in music of my fellow participants, so I bought a hard drive after asking a bunch of them if I could borrow some of their music (Izy, my roommate, writes some of his own stuff, and I am hoping to get copies of some things if he has recorded them).  My computer, the antique, is going strong, but has some memory issues. It's reached it's peak, and I don't have much I can even delete to make more room.

I got a tax free sheet, so I might even get some money back, which is always nice.

At the CellCom store, I tried to get them to change the menu's on my voicemail to english.  No luck.  At least they aren't in arabic anymore, now we are in Hebrew.  Maybe next time I stop in, it will work.  Again it was one of those things where I was persistent, and when it became apparent that this was really important to me, the gentleman there bent over backwards for me, trying to find someone to help me solve my issue (in the end, no success, but effort appreciated).

I found a TJ Maxx equivalent and purchased some glassware for the house, much needed.  Mazi, one of the city coordinators, has a list from me of our needs, which I hope will be here in the next few days.  However, there were things that were cut, so we have some shopping to do.

I also went to a bookstore and finally bought an ivrit - anglit dictionary.  I am pretty excited about it.

Rehovot was a nice place to walk around, and I even found a restaurant that Nir mentioned as highly recommended for meat dishes.  It has a beautiful terrace, and I hope to come back with either a friend (preferable) or a book (not a bad second) and spend some time people watching and enjoying the open air seating.

Once back, I cooked some pasta and turned a boring red sauce into something tasty with vegetables from today's trip.  I also opened a bottle of Carmel 2007 Ridge Red, which is opening up nicely.

Nicole, from Oranim 28, has a birthday coming up.  So I have emailed Platinum Concierge regarding finding a Karaoke place as she was hoping to find for this Thursday.  Hopefully that works out.

I also have yet to hear back from family regarding if I can do Shabbat by them this week in Jerusalem, I am very excited about meeting my family here in Israel.
