Israeli Winters

Like I mentioned in the previous post, Jana and I have so far made good on our new year's resolution.  We've taken the weekends and lived like tourists, traveling to various parts of Israel while most Tel Avivans stay put.  The winters here are mild and also coincide with the rainy season.  The landscape is hence green and beautiful, in contrast to the summer months. 

Here are some photos from the past few weeks. 

Hike up Mt. Carmel.  Atom is getting heavy these days.

There was a big forest fire here last year but it's growing back.

There was a spooky cave, complete with an old folklore.

We ended the 3 hour hike before the downpour

Field somewhere in central Israel.  Pali needed to get out.

She loved the grass, so much so, she ate some.
