October Pictures

October is over, so here are a few more pictures to remember it with -

This was the month of the Jewish holidays, and especially the long school holiday of Sukkot.

A few more images from our travels during Sukkot. First, our trip up north to the Golan and the Upper Galillee.

So, sharing a picture of a sukka hut in one of the national parks we went to.  Religious people have to eat inside the sukka through out the seven days of the holiday, so wherever there is an eating area, they put up a sukka for religious visitors – even in the forest picnic area:

This is Dan in a children’s playground in the Upper Galillee:

And me and the kids waiting for the show to begin in the kibbutz where we were staying -

And two more pictures from our visit to Akko (Acre) :

We still don’t know what it was doing there, but down in the Crusader Knights’ Halls, we found a piano. The kids had a lot of fun enhancing the atmosphere with eerie piano notes.

Playing along in the ancient “Han” – a motel where you could park your horse and get a room in Old Acre:

And I couldn’t resist sharing this one. I thought it was kinda funny, the IDF shirt headed with the Arab Kaffiya’s:

And back home, with some more mundane pictures. My brother-in-law and his wife bought a new fridge, and the kids got a new home:

Our Ron started eye therapy, after being diagnosed with some eyesight issues. Everyday, he sits for 20 minutes with his 3-D glasses and plays the computer, errr, I mean, does his eyesight exercises:

Finally, we ended the month sweetly, celebrating a Hare Krishna holiday -
Govardhana Puja. We’re not followers of Krishna, but we have friends that are, and when invited to a celebration that includes hills of sweets, we rarely decline It was a lot of fun, lots of singing and dancing, and I don’t think I had more than 4-5 pieces of candy – honest!

So, that was October!
