Excellent moring of tutoring with 4 groups of kids. I continue to be impressed with their eagerness to learn and ability to express themselves in a 2nd and sometimes 3rd languages. The more advanced students help the others. Today the English teacher gave us two poems to review and discuss. Fire and Ice by Robert Frost. And Richard Cory by Edward Robinson. ...
In the afternoon we headed to the ancient city of Tzvat. Visited an old synagogue and spent 2 hours shopping. Picturesque narrow winding streets with spectacular views. Barely any shoppers. The tourist season is very poor at this time.
Back in Haifa. The wind is howling. Nothing compared to Boston snow, but winds that are more fierce than I have ever experienced. We walked 3 blocks to a nearby casual restaurant and had to hold on to each other for fear the wind would knock us over. Hope it calms down by morning, as it is a 15 minute walk to school!
