Hawthorn Suites - Tel Aviv

... bij. We kwamen halverwege. Daarna liepen we wat door de trapjes en steegjes van Yafo (Ido scheen wat anti-arabische vooroordelen te koesteren, maar wij vonden het wel mooi) en daarna kregen we Knaffe (een soort baklava-achtige cake van schapenkaas) met gemberthee.

Toen was Ido moe, dus die brachten we via de toeristische route naar huis (Unesco heeft 'echt geen verstand van mooi..) en toen gingen we afkoelen in de zee.. Afkoelen... in een zee van 25 graden.. Maar het was ...

... of Leh and Ladakh, it is ok to be on the north this time. Manali, Dhramsala, rishikesh, it is possible to go there first, and after to go to Nepal, it will be still a season there, otherwise you will not have a chance to be on the north, if you don't plan to make it at the end, but i see it to be a little problematic.. Max Levy I think your proposal makes lots of sense, actually. This is probably is the best option. Thanks!

... the army, Efrat.
Efrat and I served on the same base for a year. We were in the same dorm room along with 3 others. Efrat is the only one I'm still in touch with. I could always, and still can, make her laugh hysterically. Even when she was angry at me, even when I kept her awake while I waited for a phone call, I could still make her laugh. This holds true today. When I look at her now, I still see her as she was, at 19 years old. She doesn't ...

... The mediteranean sea is warm but unfortunately the jelly fish were stinging/ Nobody was there. We would die for a warm day at the beach when you weren't bumping into each other.

Todfay we went to Bet Guvrin-Maresha National Park. Although hot as xxx outside, these caves were a cool respite. Deep limestone caves with these incredible formations, in which pigeons ...

... there. I think “20 minutes” might have been code for the maximum time we were supposed to stay in the back room. Since I’m a front room kind of guy, we didn’t explore behind that curtain.

One more source of information: the day’s events were mapped out as “The Happening” starting at 10 AM at the park, the parade starting at 1:00 PM, and the events at the beach party starting at 3:00 PM.

Not knowing exactly what to expect, we ...

... it's wrong, and it can't continue.

In all the papers and books I have read, I somehow missed the human picture. I was too focused on politics to realize that the numbers behind the death tolls are all people like you and me. They could live around the corner from any one of us. They are going through this because they were born somewhere else. They like music, and sports, and television, and girls, and boys, and partying, and whatever other pleasures we ...

... was once part of a thriving city hundreds or thousands of years ago. From there, we drove on up to Haifa, another beautiful port city -- and it still currently serves as a port. There were several cargo ships coming in and out. In the middle of Haifa is the headquarters for the Bahai faith (one of the many strange cults out there). But at the headquarters, they have a ...

... it took some time. After you clean it, you have to clean the counters with boiling water and put down something to protect the counters from crumbs. So much stinking work. ha ha. So glad it's once a year. As for today, we just woke up around 10am. We're on our computers and soon we'll get ready to go to Jerusalem. We'll be there tonight for passover which means no Internet at sundown. No ...

... maintain the drive for such a journey? How do you make sure your eyes do not grow accustomed to new sights? How can you keep getting excited over new adventures when every day is an adventure? And also, how do you cope with being always on the move? As time went by we realized we may never be able to answer all these questions, and as a matter of fact, we found most of them irrelevant for us. As far as we are concerned, a ...

... Institute for Alternative Energy Policy at the Interdisciplinary Center, Herzliya, Jessica will spend a beach day in Tel Aviv and then head to Jerusalem for Simchat Torah, and Marcia, Veronica and I will spend the holiday at the Mirchins' in Raanana. On our final day we will make sure that Jessica is in good shape for the start of her semester. Itzik picks me up at 9:30 am for the ride to IDC. We pass the Silicon Valley of Europe and the Mideast ...
