Yesterday Dave and I had a golf lesson at the Caesarea Golf Club, a short drive down the main street from our house. He's played before and wanted a refresher to get him back in the swing of things (pun intended ) I had not played before except for miniature golf and wanted to see if it was something we could do together.



Dave was intrigued by this peahen and her chicks outside the golf course restaurant. Having grown up in Arcadia, CA, I've seen plenty of peacocks, but forgot how cute the babies are!



Our instructor, Boaz, was very good - he gave Dave a few pointers and taught me the basics. I really enjoyed it and both he and Dave thought that I showed promise!



After the lesson, we rushed to Tel Aviv to pick up our visas for Russia next weekend. We hit a small traffic jam on our way there, are were amused to see these graffiti Pac Man twins keeping us company.



We were a bit nervous about the visas, as the application was 3 pages long and asked all kinds of questions, form parents names to education and military service. After a bit of a wait (we apparently arrived during a coffee break) we got them! We picked up some chocolate truffles in a nearby bakery to celebrate and headed home.
