Big news: a Concorde has been spotted over the Arava. Or rather small news, as it was just under 2 meters long. We visit a model air show,
an hour up north by car, together with Ruth and Yuval. |
Very professional, with teams from Israel and Europa. The Swiss team arrived with a gigantic truck. There were
helicopters tolling through the air like crazy bees, and jet fighters with real jet engines that roared overhead and
simulated battle with fireworks. |
There was even an Airbus A340 walking about!! |
Yuval has arranged some old wood, and with their guest Sven-Okke we make a trip to Har Ga-Glil. Stunning views over a copper mine,
Timna park, and a river of sand that seems to cascade down the mountains. The wood is set on fire in a safe place, and
we have a delicious BBQ in the desert. |
It's amazing how much you can pack in a suitcase: this time we had 2 complete hand bows in one of the shells of the suitcase,
with all accoutrements, such as arm- and finger protection, targets, arrows and spare parts. In wadi Schlomo, near Eilat,
we put the bows to the test. |
The target is attached to a carton box, filled with bubble plastic. Not hefty enough though, since the arrows shoot partly through the box
and appear on the other side.

There is saying: "it is as unlikely as snow in Eilat". Not! Every year in February, a truck comes down to Eilat with snow from the
Golan heights. The kids just love it! A couple of hours and lots of trampling feeds later, the snow has turned to ice, but the
lumps keep flying through the air.

We are suddenly in a winter mood, and celebrate with sauerkraut and bacon. The bacon is from a Russian supermarket,
the sauerkraut from a can, but the spicing is very Dutch! |
