Entrance to the Israel Trail apartment where we spent the night. We stayed here two years ago, too. L loves it because there are like 7 beds in two rooms to choose from (of course we hauled all the single mattresses onto the floor and slept there). The lemons on the tree in front were ripe and we made lots of lemonade.
I didn't spend nearly as much time measuring rocks this year as I did two summers ago. This is a VERY good thing. Now I have student slaves to do the work for me (at least in Haifa). L wasn't interested in helping this time and she and/or A were responsible for breaking I think two measuring tapes. Did I mention that it's nearly impossible to get any work done whatsoever with them in tow? Oh well. 
We spent one night in Jerusalem with friends - now with three boys! Here is V hassling baby Amit.
Tubby time is always popular, even with kids you don't know well.
We spent Sunday wandering around the old city of Jerusalem. I went to one museum. Here is Abba and babe on the Via Dolorosa.
Kanafe! We had so many sweets during our trip, it was unreal. We had just come from apfelstrudel at the Austrian Hospice when we saw the sweets place not far from the Damascus Gate and had to go in. It was delicious, but a bit much honestly.
Just outside the Jaffa Gate is this weird swanky outdoor mall at Mamilla where we parked. I remember people with leprosy hanging out by the Jaffa Gate not so many years ago; now there's an Aroma Cafe and upscale shopping. It's bizarre, incongruous and comforting all at the same time somehow. I don't like it.
Visiting Safta at the kibbutz.
Not sure where this was taken, but it's cute. They both HATE car trips now!
