Final few days in Israel!

Phwar! In exactly three days I’ll be on an airplane coming home! And I can’t wait I’m in Haifa at the moment, staying with Tom (Maia’s Cousin). I’m hoping to go to Tel-Aviv tonight but it’ll probably be in the morning because I have nowhere solid to stay (and I’m waiting for a reply from [...]

A Boat Upon the Rainbow River

I started in Rosh Pina, had some fantastic things for dinner, went there for a week or two, ended up staying a few. peddled my way back down south, stopped a lot, to water my mouth, arrived in Nahalal within the day, couldn’t meet Irit, so thought I’d stay. Sunday the 7th came along, what [...]

Rosh Pina and Returning Home!

hey, I can’t remember what I said last time, but I’m here on a farm in Rosh Pina – making bread, keeping the garden tidy and being the IT/Electrician guy! Had the chance to do some paid work cutting weeds last week which was much appreciated by my wallet! I just got off the phone [...]

Mushav Nahalal

I’m on a Moshav now (Nahalal), just arrived today. We’re building an educational eco-farm – much like a small CAT centre. That’s about all I know, got here this afternoon and was lugging sand around for a few hours. Seems nice. Thought I’d write. Short sentences. Here for one week, then hopefully going elsewhere. Don’t [...]

Life after Ulpan, Bombs in Haifa and Roni has a job!

Hello! Rob sent me an email and I wrote him a proper reply, so here’s an extract from my latest work “An email to Rob”. Went to Megedo today, which is where the Armageddon is supposed to be happening! (Armageddon is actually from the words Har Megedo, which means Megedo mountain!). Swam in the dead sea [...]

Wuhay! (Still Alive and going to IDF Book Camp Gadna)

Wuhay! Still here! Going to Jerusalem next week to stay with Illy for a few days. Did I mention that? I forget.. Apparently in January we’re going to IDF Boot Camp for a week! There’s a base near the kibbutz and… yeah.. should be interesting Missing you all, etc etc

A weekend in Evron, and back to Ein Hashofet
