Happy New Year from Israel.

We are preparing to leave for Croatia but before we do here is our last entry from the Israel.
Zar has picked up advanced Hebrew language skills. As you can see he performs the "toda" (Hebrew for Thank You) executed like a professional gymnast, while Zoe gleans a date palm and keeps us all well fed for the trip to the Galilee. On top of the hill fortress at Masada, Zar bathes in Herod's palace complex.
