Serene scenes at the foot of the Judaen mountains. Yishuv life doesn't fail do delite as our shabbat invites increase. And its nice that Israelis have time to talk. People are happy to say hi and get to know who we are.
Before Sam left Ben and Sam took the kids to the Ayalon national park which backs onto the yishuv. Mountainous forests galore. We started at the wellspring path; a series of ruined well sites dug up by our ancestors 2000 years ago. I think its safe to say that our Jewish heritage places us safely within the 'we've been here a while' category! Stunning views. Orly showed off her (catious!) rock climbing. We picked, bug checked and tasted a juicy fig in the fig orchards and orly was flummoxed when shown where dates grow! Yael was joyously sitting in her backpack which sam and ben alternated wearing before a squash-faced yael popped off to sleep.
After progressively grumpifying orly was not having any of this walking business and took to the buggy.
Glorious sunset scenes plague the evening skies daily and (what sounds like) herds of jackals serenade nature's night theatre. They are very cute. And so are the bats!
The team get ready for a walk in Canada Park
