it's beginning to look a lot like xmass

it's my first time being in america in the season before xmas. it's crazy. everything is decorated for xmas well before thanks giving, the radio is playing holiday music, and most of all, there's xmas commercials on tv all the time. it makes you feel like there's something really WRONG with you if you're not out there SHOPPING every waking moment. and if you do go shopping, you should definitely buy a new car, diamonds and/or 50'' hi-def TV, if you want your family to love you. sort of crazy.
anyway, i really like how things look this time of year. especially since we got some snow, and it accumulates on the leafless trees and the little lights shine through it.. fabulous.
ben is flying to the canary islands tomorrow for a few nights of observations, so before he does we took some time to put up some holiday spirit on the walls!


the cat is a part of our Halloween decoration, but we liked it a lot, so he gets to stay for now... (assaf, the daylight picture is for you!)


some of you may recognize the snowflakes, bells and balls from our wedding in cadillac, almost a year ago :)
bigrit, the guys wanted to say hi to you and sam!

Wow. I *really* miss home right now. The pictures ease my headache. I'm short on sleep...
Observing conditions aren't so good from the mountain top right now, but the daytime scenery is spectacular. Definitely have to post pictures to come of volcano we're perched on, and some other scenery. But I would rather have my wife and the snow. :(

Ben, you are in Spain, I am green with envy, if you have a chance try "mojo" red and green, it´s something to eat with bread. The wine in that region is awful due to the volcanic ground... Keren, thank you so much for the cute fotos, Sam says hi too :))

Thanks Birgit!
Ive been told the wine here is terrible as well, so im avoiding it.
I do have one day at Santa Cruz de la Palma (the capital of the island), so I`ll seek out the mojo.
Thanks!
