Eva is French and is a human rights attorney specializing in torture and the ethical treatment of those being detained as prisoners. She is here as an anti-terror watchdog monitoring the actions of the Israeli government regarding Palestinian detainees. She wears tight shirts, wide pants, and she loves to dance. Eva can make quiche blindfolded with her hands tied behind her back and she always shares, like tonight when I came home drenched from the rain and exhausted from a day of teaching and there was half a spinach mushroom cheese pie waiting for me. Her mistakes in English are so adorable I forget to correct her and then she yells at me. Eva is small but you better not piss her off because she is feisty. She is incomprehensibly beautiful and looks hot in everything, constantly, putting Hana and I to shame whenever our household goes out together in public. Eva loves shopping in the shuk and will walk to a bunch of different stalls looking for the best price while I get impatient and just buy whatever I see first that I want because nothing is that expensive in the shuk, anyway. Eva is also in ulpan, an intensive Hebrew class, but not the same one as me although our classes do meet on the same days so we often come home from class and compare notes on what we learned that night/complain about how Hebrew is hard. She recently recycled a pair of her pajama pants by handing them down to me and I am thrilled because like her, they are French and adorable and if she's not careful I am going to steal this one sweater that she has which is also a shawl, fabulous, in the top picture above. Eva finds most Americans exhausting but has somehow decided to tolerate me and I am glad because I like her a lot.
