Hi all,

We would have liked to post pics and descriptions more often, but, as you know, sometimes you have all the time in the world to do that, and sometimes you simply don't. We're currently at the point of busy busy busy with no end in sight.  But we won't give up! We will post pics of our neighborhood as soon as we get a chance, and will continue describing life here.

Till then, I'd just like to relay that since last year, we have been discovering many new nature-related places that visitors can reach relatively quickly from the center of the country. Israel, it turns out, has many sites to see that are not so well advertised in the papers. There are quite a few wildlife reserves, flower parks, and lake/river spots to visit, and great hiking trails to enjoy.

My (Reuven) parents live in the Golan Heights, and that is a beautiful part of the country that could be a great topic for a post on its own.

Anyhow, thanks to those who read this. We read the blogs of others as well and like to know how others live in different parts of the world.

May you all be blessed with everything that is good, always.

O&R
