Pics from our trip to Rhodes

We went this week on a short vacation in Rhodes, organised entirly by Intel, after the management lost a bet it made with our design team that we can't complete the design of a family of 4 new processors ahead of time.

We visited the medieval city of Rodos, the ruins of Lindos acropolis, and walked through an 180 meter undergroung aquaduct near the seven-springs.

Vacation in northern IL

So now the war is over, we vacationed for a few days in Ramot near the Kineret , going out each day for hikes in the area, mostly to places with water, like the Majrasa stream and the hexagon pool ( Brechat Hameshushim ). I even got to go flying from Mevo-Hama on Friday evening and had a great 45 minute flight, enojying the great view of the Kineret at dusk.

Pics from Kalat-Namrud, Banias & Netanya

It was a not-so-hot-as-usual day last weekend so we went to visit Kalat-Namrud and the Banias
waterfall up north ( couldn't go there now with all the missiles raining down there ). I last was in the Banias about 20 years ago, so I was pretty shocked to find a ticket booth at the entrance, and big signs saying that bathing is forbidden.

I'm now on sabbatical leave from work ( we get 23 days sabbatical every seven years ), spending time with the kids and going paragliding every other day, mostly in Netanya.
If you can read Hebrew and interested, here's an account of a forced landing I had yesterday. It was a bit scary but ended well. Most of my flights are very peaceful and fun.

After the Seder

The morning after the Seder we went for a hike from Ramat Hashofet to the Hazorea water fall, about 4 km. A very hot day with cool water to splash in at the end of the walk.

Pesach

We celebrated the Passover Seder at our place tonight, with 20 family members around the table. It was very crowded but the food was great ( we got to it pretty fast, zooming through the Hagada ).
Enjoy the pics.

The red sea

We found this field of poppies not 5 minutes from our house, near Ein Hashofet.
It's actually a clover field that somehow the farmer neglected to spray with herbicides - Hope the cows that eat it won't get too high :)
Any way, it was a gorgeous sight.

Have a happy Passover everyone !

Dany.
