Fantastic! Will spend more time tomorrow. What kind of camera?
I've just added Israel to my bucket list.
My friend and I were the trip techies. I gave up the still camera for the video camera. She took all of the pictures. I can't take credit. It was tough but we are making a movie and we needed both parts. The camera is a rebel. Worth the investment.
Awesome pictures and captions. Looks like it was a great trip. Would love to see the movie one day.

Zehavit, the movie will be done by the end of march and I'll get you a copy. What a trip. Shimshon was incredible and the kids blew me away. I swear if they could get wifi in the Negev I'd move there!
gorgeous pictures which brought back memories.
missed the last 4 games of round 2 last year for a similar trip (our soldier was also very soldiery - and gorgeous)

Amir was amazing. It was fun having such a hot body guard.
The pictures look great but how do we know that you are not still in Montreal using your considerable photoshop skills? I suppose the lack of habs logos is evidence enough for me.
Seriously, great pictures. (yes, I read that your friend took them.)
@soperman
Angrily is possible but I have the scars from crawling through caves to prove I was there.
My friend and I were referred to as "paparazzi" and hopefully I'll be able to post a link to the movie once it's done. If not maybe I'll just post the out takes which had the adults on the trip laughing 20 hours a day.
@soperman
*anything* is possible. Stupid autotype.
Fantastic shots GG - I know they are not yours exactly but you posted them which is close enough for me. Must have been an awesome trip!
@kmaxx
Thanks. They aren't my shots but I taught my partner, grasshopper, everything she knows.... Ok I showed her how to use her camera.
Team effort. Hopefully the movie will be postable.
Wow, absolutely beautiful! And Israel doesn't look too bad either.
Seriously though, looks like it was an amazing trip! Love the colors!
@iRiRi
You have no idea. Amir's eyes were the color of.... oh you meant the country!! Ya that too.
What a trip.
