Hi Everyone,
We are sorry for the delay in publishing this post, but you know, we were busy;
elections: in Israel ;), work, buying a car, cooking and just in general,
living. We had quite some adventures and some misadventures (or in Polish,
nieprzygoda) but we’ll try to focus on the positive sides AKA, new-year vacation.
Two good friends, Mieke and Bjorn came to visit us. We picked them in Washington DC and the four of us went to the Appalachians (after a day and a half in Durham and some Pita bread w/ Humus), south to the Great Smoky Mountains area (link
to our cabin in the mountains). During the day we were hiking (three days) and
in the eves we had some Vodka, food, Alcohol and Vodka. This is also the only
reasonable explanation for the fact that Asia and Mieke defeated us (Bjorn
& Guy) six times in a raw in a game called Pictionary. During the first hour of the second day we met a dog (see
link to Picasa); it was the cutest, most loving and obedient dog. He
was a hunting dog with a GPS collar that got lost to his “owner” and he
followed us in the snow for the whole day. Twice he decided to stay behind,
alone in the forest but just when we thought he left, we so him running back to
us. We took him in the car and fed him in one of the shops on the way and, unfortunately, called his owner and returned him back to his redneck hunter. We
are saying unfortunately because when the hunters came the dog was terrified
and it was clear that his life with them is not a pleasant one. We were really
sad about this. Except for tis fiasco, it was the perfect vacation. The wooden
huge house was amazing, the lady was making us cookies and muffins that were
waiting when we arrived very late at night. She also made us food for the way back. She and her husband were both in their 60-70s and surprisingly, big supporters of Israel and the IDF. Till the next time...
Enjoy the pictures,
Asia and Guy
