Israel, part 3
The last time we visited Israel, it was so hot that we couldn’t possibly go to Masada (where the sun pounds down on you and there’s barely any shade). But December is a perfect time to visit – so we planned a trip there, as well as to the Dead Sea and Ein Gedi National Park, with good friends from school who recently moved to Israel.
Our trip included lunch at a random pizza place between Tel Aviv and Masada that was referred to as a “must stop” by TripAdvisor (it really was quite good), a stop for a sheep crossing, and a nighttime dip in the sea (photos of that coming separately). And when we were on top of Masada (which I hope impressed the girls) I told Zoe, “The next time you’re probably going to be here is during your eighth grade trip with the school. I hope you’ll think of us.”
