We're Back!

We have internet again!  Mazel Tov!

So much has happened in the last two days. Here we go...

We went to Ben Gurion's hut, saw his library, his famous black rimmed glasses and comfy slippers. Did you know he drank a kuch much everyday?

We had a nice lunch.

On Saturday night we had a touching havdalah ceremony in a cave followed by a once in a lifetime moonlit hike. Here's the review...

We had roasted leaves as a midnight snack.

Yesterday was wall-to-wall Israeli fun! Camel rides in a sand storm, a walk up Masada, our bar/bat mitzvot ceremonies on top of the biggest rock in the world, a float in the dead sea and a party at Afik. Enough said!

We arrived at Nes Harim last night and the kids had no trouble falling asleep. Today we went to see the devastation of the Carmel in the morning and then spent the afternoon learning the ancient art of paper cutting with the local expert.

More tomorrow if we have internet. Please comment below so we know you're out there reading.
