The yearly Christmas card of 2006, made by Ruth during archery with Jerusa. Note: no animals were hurt during the making of this picture. |
This candle split right through the middle, and both halves slowly turned into huge floppy ears, just when we were watching the DVD
of Wallace & Gromit: the curse of the were rabbit. |
Winter in Eilat allows us to buy flowers that in other times of the year would have to be disgarded within a day.
Roses in a little vase for Sonja's birthday. |
Several Friday evenings we have dinner guests. Sonja goes for oriental cooking, and even brought a Maroccan cook book from Holland, that
contains beautiful and utterly spicy recipes. With this special pan, tehine, it tastes terrific, and looks even better. |
Something else that you can only do in the winter: paint outside. The new sun shades needed paint, and the white balcony wall reflected too
much sun into the living room, and received some color. At four o'clock precisely, the color, "prairy peach", matches the color of the Edom mountains.

Just across the road, in the Wadi behind the apartment building, are some historical excavations.

Time for the yearly rain shower: this is the west side of the city..... |
....and this the east side. |
Full moon rises over the Edom mountains. |
Early January we make a trip to the Dead Sea. One hour driving from Eilat we see the first snow in the mountains of Jordan.
A week ago, a couple of tourist were evacuated here by helicopters when their touringcar got stuck in the snow.
