The trip (in a trip) was awesome!!!

 Sorry I didn't blog yesterday. I could'nt blog because I was up in the Golan hights. Yesterday, we did 2 hikes, saw a waterfall called Banias. It was beautiful. Then we went to go to Senir (which is a water hike) , but when we got there, it was going to close in 9 minutes. So when we went to dinner, we saw a huge forest fire, that we later learned that it was caused by a couple of kids barbecuing. It burned 2 national preserves, and a few cattle fields. We checked in to a hotel called Hagoshrim. It was a kibbutz-hotel. And luckly we got the last room available. Today, we went to Senir, but found a huge (and slow) group hiking in the water with us. So around halfway, we turned around and went to the beginning then turned around and kept walking the trail, then at the end of th trail, the group took the land trail back to the beginning. Then later to day, we went to Misgav Am where we learned all about its history because it's on the Israel Lebananon border and it had been attacked. Sorry I blog any more, my grandma is making me get dressed to go out for dinner. See'ya!!! I miss you!!!!!

  2. Well it's about time. Sounds like a great trip. I don't think I have been to any of those places. Of course, I may have and just don't remember. It happens. I do remember backpacking thru the Grand Tetons and rafting the Snake River. Oh, maybe that wasn't me. Love you!!!

  5. wow! Are you guys BUSY!!!!!!! I'm having trouble just pronouncing all those places. Wish I could have been in your pocket or back pack to see and learn all that you are experiencing.
    We had dinner Wednesday night at Aunt Hillary's and Uncle Brian's. Barry and Gail are in Chicago for a wedding. It was great to see them. Orly was there too, but she was so tired from the flight in that she napped most of the visit. Aunt Hillary made a great dinner. Max, Emmett and Jemma are having a nice summer so far at camp and are enjoying their various activities. Jemma's "ballet" birthday party is this Sunday. Should be fun. Lots of love to all of you.

  6. Ben - Great to read your blog. I was just in the Golan with your cousing Miri a couple months ago doing jeep rides. Totally cool up there. And you are right, the Banyas river and hike are awesome! How is your soccer game? Gotta go to sleep now as I think I am going on a long bike ride with your dad early in the morning. What a way to spend my birthday! Isn't it Hillary's birthday as well? Anyway, thanks for blogging! Jim
