Passing the Eretz crossing back into Israel went surprisingly smooth, and I was back home at 18.40, just in time for the traditional crayfish party the girls had arranged. Magda just came back from Sweden and brought the stars of the night, small red crayfishes. Anna, Ruby, Susann and Lotta all contributed with food and drinks, and Femke made a delicious blueberry-raspberry pie. Earlier in the week. I spiced some vodka into traditional Swedish snaps.

Of course, we sat outdoors, enjoying the company and the food until late. What a great home-coming!
