Wednesday, Feb. 17 – Hiking Mitzpeh Ramon & visits

Hi,

The views are spectacular, the weather marvelous and we are enjoying a few days at this lovely hotel. Last night some of us took advantage of the pool before dinner. Would you believe it was so warm, we had to sleep with the windows open?

Our day started with a 3 hour hike in the canyon, visit to Sde Boker Environmental School where we saw the kids float preparation for the Purim Parade, and ended the day with a visit to Ben Gurion’s Hut, gravesite and view of the Zin Valley.

Will write more details later.
