We hung out with some friends

We've been having some really social time here in Haifa, including hanging out with many new friends.  We went to get ice cream with my coworker Hadas and her boyfriend:

Hadas is really nice, and she tells me all sorts of things about Israel so that I can tell Sam and seem really knowledgeable.

We also went to the beach with our friends Rebecca and Nadav:

At this beach lunch we had salads with the extremely delicious haloumi cheese.  Mmm!
