Passover vacation - this is it!

So, I don't know about you(as in the 2-3 readers I have), but I am tired of talking about our Passover vacation. Here are the remaining highlights...
We went bowling with my Uncle Israel, his girlfriend and her daughter. They were also our gracious hosts.

For those who don't know, Suzanne loves taking baths. So I took her to Hamat Gader in the far, far North East part of Israel in the Golan Heights. Many years ago I went there with my parents. You could sit in the stinky hot water among Roman ruins. The smell is from the minerals, specifically Sulfer which smells like rotten eggs. Excellent for the skin, but not the nose. Today it is a well developed resort. Many things to do like, Restaurants, ruins to see, alligators, massage treatments, and more. After some time here your skin feels like a baby's butt!

Syria wants us to give back this?
The next day went to Arbel. It is a cliff and old fortress. We hiked down and ate a picnic lunch in the fortress past this sign...
So, what do you think it means... My uncle likes to challenge new people to this hike, Suzanne loved it. The flowers were in bloom and everything was green. These pictures are the best, so check out the link below!

Who is carrying stuff???
Anyway, before Suzanne's birthday, we had our first house guest from Dallas. Sara Weinstein was in Israel and stayed with us for two nights. We had a good time and explored Ein Karem, a neigborhood near us plus a little more. Remember, everyone has a place to stay in Jerusalem!
This could be you...

In case you did not know, I have become very famous here. They have even named a street after me! "Ha" means "the."
