Since yesterday is such a dessert wind - in Hebrew "Sharav", that you almost can't see. Today they said that the dust particles in the air are 20 times higher than the maximum allowed. That's why they advise that pregnant women, Babies, old people and people with asthma should stay at home. By the way, I am suffering for the last few weeks of horrible asthma cough. I am even taking an inhalator to help me cope with it.
Even so, we made a great trip yesterday with our "Buffalo". Not too far, just around Ceasarea. Daniel asked to go also to the "snow": One of the two aqueducts is partly covered with very fine sand, which goes down very steep like a snow slope. This is really fun for kids to play with. They can climb it and roll down, jump down - without the fear of getting hurt.
On weekends when we are quite lazy we have such an advantage here, that we live so close to nature. Then we don't have to drive for hours to have some fun. The sand dunes, the sea and the archaeological sites (which are mostly undiscovered) are just within minutes reach. Where I come from people can only dream of living in such a wild, romantic spot. There might be also nice scenery in Austria, but certainly not exactly where I used to live. Or at least I didn't enjoy that place at all.... Now I can say that I am truly happy and fulfilled. All my life I wanted to live near the sea. Now I can just grab my surfboard and head out by foot to the ocean and its rough waves.

in all its beauty you have to forget all the dirt that is lying around ...
