Hi elana,

I just want to tell you that I've heard the horrible news just when I landed and I'm shocked and I'm sure you're too. I want to call you but I still have a problem with the time zones I'll do it soon. Iris was devastated and I saw her last night for a little while. She came to us for a little dinner and I know it's very hard for her. I never really met him but I know how you liked him and how much of a team you were. The country that you love (and I do too of course) is going a little too insane but these are no news.

That's it for now. Sorry and I hope you're o.k. as much as you can actually be.

Have an easy rest of the week,
shiri.
