Dead Sea pics
Last weekend I surprised hubby for his birthday. My mom agreed to babysit for the entire weekend and we drove to the Dead Sea for a relaxing stay at hotel + spa.
Here are the Kumran caves where the Dead Sea scrolls were found:
This is on the way to the caves: in the centre of the picture you can see a person rappeling down the cliff. Some more people are waiting at the bottom.
Here's a view to the Dead Sea with some of the many hot-houses where fruits and veggies are grown.
Driving to Masada:
From Masada, at the top of the cable car ride:
Tristram birds on Masada
The view from our hotel room. The mountains are in Jordan.
The view to the other side from the hotel room.
The hotel's Dead Sea beach. The water was too cold to swim in, but they have a thermal pool of sea water that you can bob around in.
It's not easy being a Dead Sea hotel elevator door!
Here's something you don't see much at the Dead Sea: a boat, stranded on the salty sand.
Heavy machinery is more common than boats.

Jerusalem pics
ok, I know I owe lots of photos, so here we go.
These are from Sataf, where crops are grown on a hillside as they were in biblical times.
There are several springs and their water is channeled to the crops.
And there's Hadassah on the hill! That winding road is my daily commute.

Zoo pics
Since I got to work each day, and hubby mostly goes travelling, guess who gets to take the camera?
So today I have some pics that I didn't actually take myself, from the Jerusalem zoo.
Hanging around: can you do that??
Elephants and giraffes, oh my!
This is an area with some type of gophers or something, and kids can crawl underneath in tunnels, and stick their heads out in these bubbles to see the creatures at eye level.
Taronga zoo is not the only zoo with a view!

Happy New Year!!
On the day that it snowed here, I didn't have my camera with me, so no snow pics.
Here are some other pics instead.
Some bike riders on the road to Bet Shemesh:
A freaky, and freezing, cat at Hadassah. Check out the eyes!
Sunset from the bus stop:

More Old City pictures
From the Migdal David museum:
On the right is the Old City, on the left behind the wall is the new.
Trinkets in the market
T-shirts in the Old City market: IDF, Palestine, Che. You can get whatever you want, and it's all made in China...

Some more pics
One photo a day is just not happening here, so I'll post a bunch of photos whenever I get the chance.
Here's my morning traffic jam:
And some photos from the Old City on Christmas Day:
This funky glass sculpture looks like some kind of sea anemonie or something:
Jerusalem bagels with a little bit of zaatar in a piece of paper, yum:
An old man and a boy on an Old City rooftop:

Shabbat
Getting ready for Shabbat dinner with the in-laws, and just had to hop online while I had the chance.
Here are some pictures from the Hadassah campus and also one of Bet Shemesh from the car.
Happy 8th day of Hanukah!! Tonight we light 11 candles: 8 for Hanukah, 1 Shamash, 2 Shabbat.

Camera's back
Yay I have my camera again!
Here are a few photos from last week that I finally got to download. Today I'll take a walk around campus and snap a few shots.
Here are some pics from a Lebanese restaurant in Ein Kerem:
An olive tree:
A nicely striated "upside down" coffee:
