Eilat

I’m gonna make you all work a little bit harder this time. Open a new window, and go to my pics page – bc im explaining the pics in a blog instead of giving them names. Because (a) it’s easier (b) im lazy (c) each pic doesn’t need a name.

We start with scenery pics from our ride down. The views were amazing. To our left was the Dead Sea almost the entirety of the ride. The directions to drive: take Route 1 out of the city til you hit Route 90. And drive south. For-ev-er. But we could look over the Dead Sea to Jordan and we got all sorts of high quality radio stations from there. On our way out of Jsalem we ended up on our way to Ramallah but quickly remedied that…we do think we ended up in a safe part of the west bank. Oops.

We stopped at the chocolate milk kibbutz for bathrooms, lunch, and chocolate milk. Oh and for a chance for me to ride the fake cows. I got a little excited in there. But Karen got excited drinking milk from a bag (“it’s like breast feeding”)…We actually went to 2 kibbutzim before this one because SOMEONE got a little confused. Yael and Lotan are gorgeous if you were curious.

I ate a lot of sunflower seeds on the way down. Jen and Karen slept. Rachel gave me the finger and made faces at me.

We went to a very mediocre dinner at a sea food place. But before we went, we were driving and just looking around. And kept driving. And then saw yet another check point (I believe we saw something like 3 or 4?) we figured out it was a check point when we saw the welcome to Israel type sign – and the go in peace sign that we were leaving Egypt. So we hopped out and took pics – Rachel stayed in the car. And we avoided going into Egypt. But damn, those countries are close…

My dolphin pics have to get developed – but ill stick on pics of the pics we bought from dolphining. They were amazing. Gorgeous. That’s it’s own post *hahahaha

On the way back I finally got to fulfill a creative urge I had been having … so you’re driving down these stretches of road that have nothing on them. And then out of nowhere you get a bus stop. And then drive for awhile and another one. They are throughout all of 90. and have these gorgeous backdrops. So Rachel was kind enough to photograph this series for me….
