Keeping up with the blog from Israel

Dear readers, during the day I am photographing Israel’s towns and countryside, and at night I’m trying to document its nightlife.  This has left little time to write about the experiences as they happen.   When I return to New York, I will be filling you in on the trip and the photography.  You can, of course, click on my Flickr Photostream to the right of this message to see some of the photos.

By the way, this picture is really special to me.  I went out to one of the most amazing resort hotels ever, the Hotel Mizpe Hayamim, where they grow, on the property, all the food and raise the animals for guests.  All organic and humane.

Goats are typically not this friendly, but this little baby goat, who I named “Bucky”, wagged his tail and followed me around, friendly as can be.  I just absolutely loved him.

    Awww…reminds me of the goats from back home. They were always friendly. Course the people that raised them, didn’t raise them for meat, but rather for milk and as pets. Maybe that’s why they weren’t so grumpy. :)
