Bedouins and their flocks. I see them almost every day. They give a wave and ask, "Kef Halek?"
The landscape changed dramatically after Arad. Here is a mixed pine and palm forest. Wait.. wha? Those trees don't go together!
Me leaving Arad. Yes - I escaped!
These Red Anemones are everywhere.
So is the hiker trash.
Nightmare and I in front of a 400 year old tree.
Baby donkeys are so.... I hate that word.
Free pita! Thanks for the photobomb, Pootis.
Nightmare strapping on his watermelon helmet.
Life Pro Tip: NEVER confuse these two. Especially early in the morning. In the dark.
Watch your step - the trail here is lined with cactus.
Kunafa from the Muslim quarter in Jerusalem. So good!
Beer!
Leave a comment below and tell me what's wrong with this mural.
Me, Classic Rock and Pootis on the Mount of Olives.
Classic Rock being silly. We ate those flowers (not kidding).
And, finally, the beautiful vineyards outside of Latrun. I should hit Tel Aviv in a few days. I'll post again then. Bye for now!
Cute!!! The baby donkeys are cute!!!
ReplyDeleteArgh! I hate that word! But thanks for the comment.
DeleteDarling. They are darling.
Deletea helmet you can also eat. Nightmare is a business man in disguise!
ReplyDeleteHe's a lunatic disguised as a hiker. He wore that helmet for miles and won two beers and an ice cream cone in a bet.
DeleteWho is that sexy guy you call "pootis" behind the free pita?;) great photos!

ReplyDeleteThe boy with the backpack in the second-temple-era marketplace is so gangsta! (Or should I say cute?)

Correct. I don't know why the artist added a modern little boy to a mural depicting life in ancient Jerusalem but I thought it was interesting.
DeleteI love the photos and the comments. It makes me feel a part of the the adventure. Enjoy yourself and know your friends travel with you. See you soon
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words, Roberta. We'll all get together again at Pete's Place when I get back and have a laugh.
DeleteWhat's your return to MI date? Im not trying to hurry you, just asking.
ReplyDeleteSometime during the week of June 19th.
Deletewhat's wrong with the mural....
ReplyDeleteWhen Chris was just a wee youngster, he took his little green backpack and went hiking with Jesus. As everyone can plainly see the only thing wrong is Chris' water bottle is about to fall out.
Ha! Correct. That's me hiking with Jesus when I was a little boy.
