Little river.

Yesterday I went on a little day trip to somewhere very pretty in the north of Israel (which I've forgotten the name of - shame on me!), and had a lovely time. There was a little river there which was wonderful to walk in, and the water was a little cold, but still very refreshing. I wish I were able to go on trips more, at the moment my boyfriend's too busy with his studies... Oh, maybe in a few weeks...

Before I forget: You can now follow me on Twitter here. It's quite silly, I've had an account there for over a year, but only decided to start using it a few days ago. Let's see if I can keep it up!

Sad.

I've been feeling really sad for a few days now as my parents, who were supposed to come and visit me on Thursday, are probably not going to be able to come at all due to the volcano eruption on Iceland. I had looked forward to them coming so much; spending time with them, showing them where we live, going places with them and them meeting my boyfriend's family and also getting a whole suitcase of my things that they were bringing from home. It's terribly, terribly upsetting and I have no idea when they would be able to come.




To cheer myself up a little I bought this belt with a little bicycle on it from a little boutique. I think it looks adorable.

Beams of sun through the treetops.

My two week passover holiday from my Hebrew course is coming to an end in a couple of days which means no more getting up at 11 or 12, but at a terribly unholy hour. I cannot say that I am looking forward to that because knowing myself, I have the worst time adjusting myself to getting up early, but changing my routine to getting up late (and staying up late) is easy peasy. Strange, isn't it? Nevertheless, I am trying to enjoy my last couple of days of vacation - and after posting this, I plan to on a little biking trip! How are all of you doing these days?

Cliffs by the ocean.

On Thursday, on our way to look for a little carpet for our apartment, my boyfriend and I, drove off on a little side road where the landscape looked really beautiful. At the end of the road we reached some lovely meadows along with steep cliffs. It was amazingly stunning and unlike anything I'd seen in Israel so far. In a way it reminded me of landscapes I've come across in Europe. We stayed there a bit, sat down and enjoyed the view and talked about how lovely it would be to come back for a picnic there another time, or even go to the beach further down which was almost deserted.

Jerusalem.

I ended up not going to the Dead Sea on Saturday since the weather wasn't the best, so instead I went to Jerusalem which I think I enjoyed just as much. I hadn't been there for a very long time, which is a pity since it is always such an interesting city to visit. It's such a unique place due to its history, ancient architecture, beautiful scenery around it and the atmosphere with almost everyone being very religious. I should have taken more pictures of it, and especially of the old city, but it was quite rainy so we didn't spend enough time there. I will most likely go back there again in a couple of weeks when my parents are coming for a visit, so then I'll try to take more pictures.

Holiday, finally.

Yesterday the passover break begun - which is really nice - not because my Hebrew course has been so demanding that I neccessarily need a break, but it's nice to have a break from homework and have entire days off. I bought a bike a few days ago so I'll be using the break to bike around exploring places. I really am looking forward to that! Today I had a nice day going shopping with my friend Elise and I bought a really pretty sailor scarf that I will show you in a couple of days. Oh, and tomorrow I am most likely going to the Dead Sea for a day trip, which I am hoping will be fun.
