CAARI rides camels in the dessert

There are no words to describe this experience.  Enjoy the pictures - they tell the story!

Some just watched with both feet on the ground!

Visit to 9/11 Memorial

This morning (Sunday morning) we left our 'home' for the past 4 weeks, the City Hotel, for our journey south to the Dead Sea.  The Memorial, a magnificent and remarkable JNF (USA) project that was dedicated in 2010.  Mel Wasserman, a survivor of 9/11 spoke to the group about his experience and about the that lost their lives focusing on the Israelis that died.  Others spoke about the their experiences and we all said Kaddish.  Our bus had some difficulty negotiating the road and the "dips" so we got off the bus and walked past the beautiful spring flowers that are now in bloom!  

Shabbat with the Bau Sisters

A rainy day today, but that did not dampen the spirits of our late afternoon with the Bau sisters, daughters of Joseph Bau, Israel's first animator, artist, writer and humorist.  We learned about this remarkable man!
