Holiday Thoughts

The spring is here again, and in Israel there are always days of extreme heat – Hamsin. Yesterday was a day of suffering, with hot temperatures and sand storms. Although I don’t live in the desert, I still get my share of sand.

Lying in bed, waiting for the heat to go, I recalled a trip to Peru, where I deliberately went into the sand – and skiing! It was very fun for me, a little less for my camera, that needed repair afterwards. Check it out:

After I saw that sand can be fun, I needed to cool down, at least mentally. Later on in that trip, I’ve been to the Cordillera Blanca, near the city of Huaraz. It sure was cold there:

When I first started blogging, the trip to Peru was high on my blogging agenda. I managed to write only 3out of 5 planned posts. I thought that in this Passover holiday I’d complete the task, but the heat, oh the heat..My laziness won. I hope to get to it sometime…

I did manage to cover my trip to Ethiopia quite thoroughly though

Happy holidays!
