Dan Gardens Ashkelon Hotel

... I tell her that's the first and only time I'll ever been told that, but Todah Rabah anyway. Noga pulls up, I breathe a sigh of relief. I haven't stopped moving in 3 days. No time to think, no time to worry, just MOVEMENT. <br><br>I still have another night in Israel, and its going to be a good one. It's shabbat, the party night. Israelis stay up very late, starting to party at 12:30 and not stopping until 5 or 6 sometimes. I've done this pretty much ...

... I was holding a steaming cup of Nana, known as mint tea and drank all over Israel. The rest of the day involved me using a tool never thought I would hold; a pitchfork. I shoveled hay into piles for the remainder of the day under the warm Israeli sun and for the first time understood what it feels like to put in a hard days work and get my hands (very) dirty. It should come as no surprise that rolling into work at noon and piloting a 22 million dollar jet ...

... try.<br><br>Which was all for the best. This way we were able to have a leisurely lunch at the Beit Guvrin picnic area, which came equipped with some great climbing trees. We hoped to see the best of the caves before the 2:00 p.m. start time of our archeological dig, but we couldn&#8217;t get the boys moving in time and had to drive over to the starting point for our excavation. As we packed up our picnic Aimee discovered, much to her chagrin that she had ...

The sun was bright in the sky. A family of perhaps 12 men, women, and children were gathered around a pcinic table in a park, with the sounds of multiple conversations; children laughing and playing nearby. Not really an unusual occurence for a Saturday, Shabbat, as we walked past. Except for one main difference-- we were about one km away from Gaza. Yes, the Gaza which has dominated the news for years, which has captured the attention of the world, which represents the ...

... la gent jove), i la majoria ni porten kippa. Per la tarda visito el port de Jaffa que no esta malament pero a on hi trobo a faltar una mica de vida de carrer real entre tanta galeria, joieria i tenda d'artista bohemi que intenta vendre qualsevol cosa. Tambe faig una excursio de dia a Akko de la qual n'he sentit a parlar molt be. Jo personalment trobo la visita forca correcte, pero tampoc res d'especial. Tal vegada sigui pel mercat caracter ...

... I leaned against the bench, and eventually decided to sit on it - a very bad move, as the entire bench collapsed! I told the hotel staff straight away, and the general manager summoned me into his office. He told me I'd have to pay 350 Egyptian pounds ($100) for breaking the bench. I responded that a) They should be insured in case things break in the rooms; and b) All I did was lean against the bench with my elbow when it collapsed. I hate lying and rarely do so, but ...

... buy multiples of everything and suitcases to carry all the loot. 5. Jewish kid on the bus to Eilat stared at Skippy so much we were going to charge him a shekel. 6. Welcome to Panama City, Israel. The Luxor in Eilat was too much - it's really a pyramid, like in Vegas. 7. Skippy tries to invent his own list of the 7 Wonders of the World, based on our trip itinerary. 8. Humming the Indiana Jones theme for ...

So, I am in an official war zone (since there is no cease-fire with Hamas right now and I can almost spit over to the Gaza strip). How did I end up here? I did never plan on coming, but plans change :-) On my way south (I thought Be'er Sheva might be a good stop for the night), I met Dina. She is a journalist and a very interesting person. She was on her way from Jerusalem, where she lives, to Sderot to to some story there, since there ...

... Dor, my disciplined guitarist friend. He'd once said to me, "So, we're in the same place, then," because, similar to me, he was trying to stop masturbating, and against premarital sex. But, I also doubted I could live in Tel Aviv. It was too big; the young people didn't dance freely; and you couldn't rely on new acquaintances. Then, I went to Jerusalem. While there, I visited a neighboring village in the mountains. I love mountain villages. I ...

... where the biblical Samsom colapsed the building by pushing against the support pillars, killing the Philistean kings and nobels assembled. the night life in Ashkelon is a bit drab, with the discoteque at the Holiday Inn or the beach being the only real hot spots, so we often head north to Ashdod for entertainment.
