From our correspondent in Rehovot (Dorina):

They are planning to go on vacation for Passover. Adina is still having a great time - now in New Delhi. She has witnessed there some huge anti-war demonstrations as well.(It must've been this one:
CALCUTTA, India, March 30 (Reuters) - More than 150,000 people marched on
Sunday in the eastern city of Calcutta in India's largest anti-war protest yet, and set
alight dozens of effigies of U.S. President George W. Bush.

Uniformed firemen, schoolchildren, teachers, and businessmen, some holding
placards that asked "How many deaths per gallon?" joined tens of thousands of
communist party members as they marched through the city centre, causing major
traffic jams.

The peaceful protest, to which some marchers brought dogs with "Bush" and "Blair"
written on them, wound its way through the city for nine km (six miles).

Groups of women in cotton saris sang in Bengali, "Stop the war, stop the
bloodletting, let peace prevail," while others waved banners that read: "America, the
biggest terrorist in the world" and "U.S.A: killer of innocent Iraqis".

She loves the place - hopefully we'll get more stories, pics.
And also, please everybody - more material about you - I don't want this to be a "me,me,me" story!
