Vacation (heaven)
Our tents are pitched a few feet away.
I'm sitting in a folding camp chair, ankle deep in the middle of a fast-flowing upper-Galilee stream catching up on a stack of unread 'New Yorker' magazines.
Ariella is reading a book a few feet downstream.
Zahava is catching up on a stack of her magazines a little further downstream.
Gilad is swimming in a small man-made pond nearby with a bunch of other teens/tweens.
And Yonah has the run of the place... tossing pebbles into the many streams and pools.
Meanwhile, a few early leaves twirl down on BBQ scented breezes... carried along with the happy sound of relaxed vacation chatter in Hebrew and Arabic.

Keep an eye out for WBM--they're all up there somewhere, too. Wish I was, as well. Sigh--maybe AFTER the Construction Project is done....

Camping with internet??
Back when I went camping, we did it without internet, MP3/MP4/IPods, or electricity!
And we liked it!
I am SOOOO Jealous!!
(you inspired a post -- check for it tomorrow)

Ilana-Davita beat me to it - what about the dogs?
Posted by: asher | Aug 26, 2008 11:32:06 AM
Take us with you... (I'm with RivkA -- I'd leave the internet at home. But then we couldn't read and envy your travels).

Have a great time!
Posted by: Gila | Aug 26, 2008 1:10:21 PM
And just where are the pictures?? :)

You can pitch a tent from several feet away? You must be well endowed.

I second Orieyenta, photos s'il vous plait!
Have a great break.

camping? sounds like your family should have just gone to the library instead :)

It sounds wonderful! Certainly better than grey London! I've been jumping on and off your blog this morning and like what I read so far. Not that you need any validation, but I will be coming back for more. Enjoy your holiday!

Glad y'all had fun, but I used to consider going to the Homowack camping. Give me a week at David's Citadel...you know, fluffy towels and room service..
