We are wrapping up eight days in El Bolson, Patagonia, a small town nestled in a beautiful valley. The kids will tell you about the highlights of our stay: Amit: “El Bolson is a nice place in the middle of nature. One day we had a hike to a hidden waterfall. All went well until on the way back the trail got itchy and we decided to take a shortcut. We found out in the end that the shortcut was ve... Read Full Entry

Well! That's a story for Saba Benni! I mean your hike back from Indian's Head. I'll take pictures of him reading about it. If they're as funny as I think (hope?) they'll be, I'll send them to you. In any case, we are both developing an appetite for Argentina. The pictures I liked best this time: the 3 gentlemen on horses (or, rather, donkeys - according to Shakked's description), Maytal having mud baths, the lake and the mountains, Ilan looking very pregnant in the 'In a carved tree forest' picture, the Noys in the freezing water (not even the 'wild horses' you rode would have dragged me into the lake. And, of course, ALL the other pictures. Hugs and hugs and hugs. Tutu

Amazing!
Wow! Hiking in beautiful places, horseback riding, tree sculptures, getting lost (always important), dangerous cliffs. Looks like you're having a BLAST! I love all the pictures -- esp. the three muskateers and Maytal and Ilan on the slide. Life is good here too (but quite as exciting...). Mika played two piano pieces in a recital and is narrator in a play at school (and preparing for her 10th birthday party). Inbal and Mika are starting a mother/daughter book club. Spring is my favorite time of year: everything about to happen. It's even better this year as I've finished up composing a piece, finishing up teaching a time-consuming course, and thinking about vacations little and big. It will be great to see all of you! Love to each one of you. David

What fun!
To us, this was your best adventure yet! We loved the picture of the three musketeers. You looked like you knew what you were doing, never mind Butterfly's stubborness. The kayaking sounded great. The views you showed us were stupendous, and Amiel said they reminded him of what he sees when he climbs the mountain in our backyard (though no snow). We laughed at Maytal's face when she was coming down the slide, and Amiel thinks she was really tough for swimming in that icy water. Nesya really liked the triple bunk beds and would have liked to sleep at the very top (although it might have been scary). Amiel wants to go with you next time you visit Patagonia! Thanks so much for sharing.

Ha ha! I was also thinking how aba/saba will react while reading the cliffs/graveyard story. That's really for him! I promise you Shakked that even the fact that while reading it he will know that it ended up fine won't really help!!! The landscape seems really amazing and so are your stories, the only problem is that they are making me too jealous!! Argentina is a country I'd love to visit some day (never been to South America). Shakked and Amit, it's so nice reading your stories. Kisss to everybody Tal
