Well, if you shared it with someone it won't be secret anymore but whatever. My (un)secret power would be to be able to make something out of nothing. Meaning, if I forget my lunch, I would be able to make my lunch again in less than a second. If I forget my bus card, I would get it. But, I would only be able to use it for a worthy cause, unlike when I would remember that I wanted a candy, but I didn't forget it. Do you understand or does make any sense? Another thing thta I am proud to say is...... (drum-roll please).... I am going to learn how to run! Not that I don't know how to run but I am going to have a personal trainer training me for a 5k run!! Last time I probably ran 1k in the 5k race but I want to do it all, and since Abba can't help me because he doesn't have time, I am going to have a personal trainer! YEAH! I am so excited! We are going to start Monday morning (tomorrow) at 6:30am! YAY!
Happy Purim!
Love you!
Bye!
xoxo!
Adina!

Ahhhhhh, England......
England, England, England....... What can I say? So much has happened!!! I missed you guys so much, and kept thinking of all of you! I was going to send you postcards, and I got them, but I have not sent them yet... So here is what happened (I will start from the night before):
Sunday night: I went to Emmi Polansky's Bat Mitzvah, sad I needed to go early, but excited that the next morning I would be in a different continent. at 8:30pm precisely, I left with Mommy to go to Modi'in - the city Esti now lives in. Coming there with a backpack and a medium sized suitcase, I was soooooo excited. I tried to go to bed, but that didn't really work since I couldn't fall asleep. I would go to the Bathroom, Read and just lie down till I actually fell asleep. I could tell you I fell asleep pretty late...
Monday: Woke up 5:00am in the morning, and left at 5:40. On the plane by 9:00am, went through the Ocean and got there. It was amazing. It was snowing. It was 0 degrees out. It was amazing. That was what it was. Well, actually, a bit more - so this is it: Esti's grandfather, Her mom - Naomi's father picked us up at the airport and drove us to Center Parcs (yes - they spell it that way). There, we picked up our bikes and got to our Cabin. It was SO cool! It had 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 4 TV's, 1 fireplace, 1 little kitchenete and 4 walls. It did have more but it wasn't so glamorous. We had to ride our bikes everywhere so I am proud to say that I am getting quite good at biking. And by the way, this whole time, it was snowing softly. We went to the little supermarket and picked up some odds and ends plus a couple of movies. That night we watched the movie 'Wild Girl' (OK movie, not in the top 3 out of the 5 movies we watched that week)and went to bed.
Tuesday: Woke up, watched a little TV with Esti, had breakfast, got dressed and davened. After that we went to the pools. IT WAS AWESOME!! It had a couple of parts - there was a main pool which was very big, and had huge waves coming every 15 minutes. Other than that it had a pool that part of it was outdoors (the rest was indoors) and the water is really warm so, if the water came to my shoulders and the water is very warm, you would think I wouldn't be cold. BUT it is snowing outside and it is freezing. It was so cool! From the outdoor pool, there was a ride (other than all the other cool water rides) called the Floom. It was AWESOME! After we showered got dressed and dried ourselves, we biked to a place where we did Laser Gun Shooting, where you would get one of these huge guns that I could barely pick up and they would shoot up these clay stuff that you need to shoot, the more you shoot the more points you get. Lets just say me and Esti did the worst since we could barely hold up the gun. After that we did Bowling, I got my Swatch and we had hot Chocolate. Oh yea, I forgot, we saw a movie. This time called 'Are we there yet' - and it was so funny I almost cried (that is totally in the best 3 out of 5 movies). Then I went to sleep.
Wednesday: All the morning stuff like the day before, except that we didn't have time to watch TV because we had to rush to the Quad Biking. Now, you might thing that is a really weird thing but it is motorcycle with 4 wheels instead of 2, and you go around splashing in mud. That was AWESOME! We went home, watched TV, went to the pools, maybe watched a movie - I don't remember - I'll tell you about them in the end and went to bed. Oh, also somewhere in the day we rowed a boat across the lake.
Thursday: The whole routine, and we did get to watch a little TV and did paintball. Now THAT WAS PAINFUL!!!!! I still have the marks on my legs, and trust me it is NOT a pretty sight. The first game someone shot me from close up - and I can tell you it KILLS! Esti also got hurt so we decided to stay put behind this fort and just shut. After a while we found that it wasn't shooting, because it was so heavy we weren't holding it right. I am not going to say that was the funnest thing, but it was plenty fun. Watched a movie, went to bed. Oh, right - we went to the pools again.
Friday: The whole movie routine just that again we didn't watch TV. We needed to drop of our bikes because we were leaving the afternoon. On the way we bought some duck feed and we fed the ducks. After that we had to talk 100000000 kilometers to get to Esti's grandfather. We drove back, did a little shopping at this mall called Broadwalk. We lit candles for Shabbos, and we ate and went to bed. By the way, we stayed at Esti's grandparents.
Shabbos: We woke up, relaxed and went to Shul - did you know they had a choir?? It was so weird! It was also the first time I was at a Shul out of Israel! We ate, had the AMAZING sweet and sour chicken and played some Texas Ho'ldem. After that I was pretty bored... After Shabbos ended, we went to see Esti's grandmother from the other side, and then we went to see AVATAR!!!! It was great! I loved it, except for the fact that I was scared I wouldn't be able to fall asleep that night. But I did.
Sunday: Went touring London, went on the tube, river and saw STOMP - that was AMAZING too!!! I LOVE IT!!! There are some pictures from London that I sent you.
MOnday: Whole morning routine, except that instead of watching TV we watched another movie. We went to the Luton London airport, went some shopping, got Ben and Jerry's Ice cream, left, and the rest is history.
Here are the notes: The most it snowed was an inch or so every day, which was pretty aggravating. Also, the other movies were RV (love it!) and Confessions of a Shopalic (ahhhh??)
Got to go!! Bye!

Next stop, the old country
Now, that sounds really weird, but I read that in a book - when a girl is taking a school trip to England and her teacher says it when they are on the plane to England. I guess that tells you everything - YES - I AM GOING TO ENGLAND!! If you want to know the story, here it is: My 1 out of 2 BFF - Esti, for her Bat-Mitzvah present from her parents are that she can choose a friend, and together with her friend and her mom they would go to England. It sounds like one of those wacky fantasies - but it's true! I am going this coming Monday for a week and a day. I am so excited! If everyone is wondering what we are doing - so, we I am going to arrive in her house Sunday night, since we would have to leave early the next morning. We will arrive early afternoon in England, and we are going to tour London (YAY!!) - I am SOOOOOOOO taking me camera and 1,000,000,028 AA batteries. After that, that night or something like that - we are going to go to this resort called 'Center Parks' which has 4 parts. We are going to stay there and do all this cool stuff! For Shabbos we are going to stay at Esti's grandparents. On Saturday night, we are supposed to see something great. Also, it is going to be SO SO SO SO cold - so I am supposed to bring gloves, hats, and scarfs - wow!
Well, about rain, it is going great in Israel, it was pouring when I was waiting for the bus!!
Abba - I miss you! I also miss everyone else!
Last thing - if you want to know more at Elveden in Center Parks where we are staying at - here is a link -
