Just Another Week in the Holy Land

It's been a while since our last blog entry, mainly because we've spent a lot of time doing nothing. But here are some photos from when we went outside.

On Annouska's last day in Israel we went to the Ramat HaNadiv Memorial Gardens. 

Within the garden is a section for the blind, in which the idea is to smell the plants. 

Lia (Yasmin's mum) took us to the coast to see the migratory birds. They are on their way south (to the right of screen) for the winter.

On Friday we went for dinner in Jerusalem and stopped for the view at the Armon Hanatziv Promenade. As you can see, the sun never sets on the old city.

Andre (Yasmin's dad) keeps making us drink. This is very old Armagnac from Condom.

We went to Nazareth on Tuesday night to see Lia's sculpture in an exhibition about childhood.

Here is my creepiest photo of it.

Some boys smoking nargilleh in Nazareth.


We also paid a quick visit to the Basilica of the Annunciation. This is the site where Mary became pregnant from God (who she wasn't even married to). And that's the moon.

All throughout are mosaics of Mary presented by different countries. One of these two is from China. Can you guess which one?

 

On Thursday we took a quick trip to Megiddo, aka Armageddon. It will be the site of the end of the world, but looked very nice to us.

There are tunnels underneath, this is Josh.

It was the best of times, it was 11:11:11 11/11/11.

Finally, a collage of Yaz in the sun
