Israel 2020: Day 8
Took the train to Haifa and then a taxi ride up this big hill.
Got out at the top and not sure what to expect.
We go through security...
And then we see this completely BREATHTAKING view of the Bahai Gardens along with an amazing view of Haifa, the port, and up and down the Mediterranean Sea.
The view Extended all the way up to the Crusader Castle in Akko.
The terraced Bahai Gardens were spectacular.
I've never seen anything like this.
We walked down the terraces some 700 stairs.
And along the way were fountains, gardens, and more beautiful landscapes and views.
This is definitely something to see (thank you Hashem for this opportunity). ;-)

Nature Boy
Of course, I was always curious why Broccoli was called Andy Boy--what boy or any kid for that matter likes to eat broccoli???
And like most things in life, there really wasn't a good answer except that this company, "Andy Boy" grows and distributes it.
Anyway, I was always a nature boy feeling most at home and at peace in the countryside.
I love being in nature, surrounded by G-d's amazing beauty, and at one with the universe and with G-d.
In building all our great cities, buildings, and structures, aside from the crowding, pollution, crime and traffic that we have consequently, we have also lost something elementary to our lives with the absence of real nature.
A park is not a forest. A pond is not a river. A plant is a not a lush valley. A garden is not a farm. A hill is not a mountain range. A pet is not a teeming ecosystem of diverse life.
The city is man made and fake, but nature is from G-d and real. ;-)

Where Are We Going
To me, it begs the question of where are we going in our lives.
The terrestrial landscape combined with the light at the end of the tunnel effect as the sky is provocative and at the same time almost hypnotic.
It also makes me feel the enormity of the universe versus the smallness of just a man.
I see myself standing on the red hilltop looking into that big sky and wondering about so many things.
In the end, believing that we don't have all the answers, but that we are in G-d's good hands. ;-)

Panorama: Ocean and Beach
Panorama of Ocean and Beach.
Made it look the the ocean is in between the beach.
Love the "special effect."
Feels a little like Moshes who led the Israelites through the (Red) Sea.
Anyway, nice to get away a little and see life through a different lens. ;-)
Shabbat Shalom and Chag Sameach!

Beautiful Hiking @Harpers Ferry
The only photo not shown is the large snake we ran into on the rocks on the side of the path.
My wife screamed:
"S-n-a-k-e!"
And we were running for the hills in this direction and that.
We had no idea where she was pointing to.
It was pretty hilarious.

Every Time I Go Mexico
First, we went for a nice kayak boat ride around the lake.
Then I couldn't help stopping and listening to this relaxing and peaceful music.
These guys were great--I'd pay to listen to them.
Just a bunch of friends getting together to play beautiful music.
This is life as it should be. ;-)

Shabbat Risk
But my daughter and her husband came for Shabbat, and we sat down and had a great game.
We distributed the countries.
Placed our enemies.
And went to battle, army to army.
By the time it was over, my daughter had conquered Europe, Africa, and North and South Americas.
It was so good to see her taking country after country from my son-in-law and me.
My son-in-law joked that he had underestimated her.
We had a good laugh and nice time just sitting down at the kitchen table and playing a board game.
Afterward, we went down to the pool and relaxed in the deck chairs and then my wife and I took off our shoes and walked in the grass in the garden.
I laid down on the beautiful green lawn and looked up watching some planes jet over in the clear blue sky.
It was absolutely beautiful weather and a marvelous day today with my family.
In the morning we went to Synagogue and the sit-down kiddush with our friends.
I am grateful to G-d for all this and for the peace of the wonderful Shabbat!
Also, what more can a man ask for Father's Day. ;-)
