Amazing how eye and skin color come in many shades yet many think sexuality is just gay or straight.

2004: Jewish Divorce
Getting the Gett


​Already separated for eight years and legally divorced for two,
Paul and I got a gett, a Jewish divorce document, so that he could remarry.
​
We didn't take pictures. This photo from the 1975 movie, Hester Street,
​ is of a Jewish divorce ceremony, with Carole Kane accepting the gett from her husband.

​2007: Madrid


​
Just like Morocco, our trip to Madrid starting with a snowstorm in the DC area. 
Mindy barely made it to the airport in time, but we were surprised and happy that we flew at all.

​​I insisted on finding the statues of Don Quixote and Sancho in the Plaza Espana.

​
​We visited Templo de Dubod, an ancient Egyptian temple, in Madrid.  ​We found the sand art intriguing.

​We took a day trip to Toledo, and I even let Mindy take a photo of me!

I am not sure in which year we got a gett, but it was well before 2008--Merrilee and I got married in 2005, so I am guessing 2004.
