Warning - pretty long, with a fair amount of photos behind cut, most of them of a very poor quality unfortunately. It was very dark and I'm not a great fan of flash photography, but all in all you'll get the idea I think.
It was kinda weird going to sleep at 9pm that day, when everybody was just dressing up for the traditional hebrew New Years' ( Read more... )

May in the coming year you all experience some truly wondrous things that will shake your world up and down and leave nothing like it was before! Enjoy =)

I'm going to Masada tonight. My friend came through, couldn't resist it despite the narrow escape just a few days ago. I did all the necessary preparations on the bike - tires are up to optimal ( Read more... )
