The first few days of Passover 2015 (5775)

We arrived in Israel on March 31 and starting late the next day began to get ready for Passover, cleaning leaven out of Beth's apartment, buying food, etc. I wasted a fair amount of time searching Bnai Brak for deli meat (all they seemed to have at butcher shops and groceries there was fresh and frozen meat) but just outside of Bnai Brak (the image show the boundary with the flags being Ramat Gan and the buildings in Bnai Brak), I found a grocery (about where that image was taken) that had deli (we were not going to be able to cook because there wasn't time to kasher the stuff in the apartment for Passover).

On April 3 we checked into an apartment in Tel Aviv that was offered by Airbnb. It was near the Opera Hotel (in the background of the second image). We chose this place because it was walking distance to where we were going to have our seder.  

The seder was quite a long one. We didn't get to the main course until after midnight and got to the afikomen a few minutes before 1:00am. As it turned out, Ann hurt her foot coming home from the seder. The image shows the foot a week or so later after it had been injured again. Ultimately this restricted our activities somewhat and Ann saw a doctor and got an x-ray (no fracture) in Tel Aviv on April 12.
