Golan Heights

As you already know we are spending our winters back home in Israel,but that does not in any way mean sitting at home.
It is a very small country and to give you a feeling of the size I have managed to fit it 8 times into Florida (I actually did it on the computer),it also means that you can drive from North to South for 6 hours and get from one end to another,but from East to West there are places that you can drive for 30 minutes and hit the Eastern Boarder....I sometimes find it hard to believe myself.
But in this small country we do have 4 seasons,one lake,one mountain,one desert ,one sea and a lot of great sites.
Winter is a good time to travel,the rain brings water to the dry creaks and brooks that fill the rivers and create waterfalls,the fields become green and colorful as result of all this humidity and that is when you want to go out and smell the ground and experiance the colors of the bloom.
That is exactly what we did this weekend,we visited and hiked in the Northern part of Israel.
We had to wait for 3 days after the heavy rain to be able to hike the trailers and that is what we saw.

New born grandson.

On 25 November 2009 at 0630 local Boston time this beautiful boy was born.

He is the son of our middle son and his wife and has a sister 3 years old.

The Mother and the baby are doing fine (and so are we…)

It is an amazing moment and we would like to share it with you all.

May this newborn have a peaceful,happy,healthy loving LIFE.

Down Town Boston

I love this city,it has so much to offer,European atmosphere,side walk pubs,restaurants,beautiful parks,Museums and old buildings.

We took a stroll to Down Town area on a beautiful sunny day headed towards Quincy Market a huge place with in and out restaurants from all cultures you can imagine,the place is usually packed ,many artists show there talents in the squire and it just nice to walk around and enjoy the day.

As we were walking around we saw a musician performing under a tree but all the people were looking up towards the sky,so I shift my eyes and a see a beautiful Owl resting on a branch , so I pull out my new Panasonic Camera that has X18 Zoom and look at the results.

I think it had a good time as we had….

Boston –Plymouth MA

It is already November,the foliage is after the peak ,we stored the trailer next to Toronto and spent time with our youngest son and some great friends in the area.

Our middle son ,his wife and their 3 year old girl are stationed in Boston and are expecting a second child in mid November,so we are here to help out and enjoy their company.

Last time we saw them it was when they came over to join us while RVing in NH in the White Mountain area just 4 months ago,we spend fantastic 5 days and now we are catching up.

Roni grew so much since we saw her,she uses English and Hebrew all in one sentence,and it is very funny and quit.

This week end we took a trip down to Plymouth along the coast ,walked the beach,saw the sunset and enjoyed being together again.

Port Hope Ontario

Usually we store the Rig at the end of the trip around October when it starts to be chilly and the Autumn leaves are gone, but this year we had more time because our middle son and his beautiful wife are having their second child in mid November in Boston.

This year the trip ended in Toronto so before we flew to Boston and after having the trailer stored we decided to do some side trips in the area to see the foliage colors in the Great Toronto Area .

Just an hour away driving East along the Lake Ontario is a small community of Port Hope with a nice small marina,beautiful houses and an old stone house University,all covered with foliage colors from yellow to red and all colors in between.

Strolling along the paths covered with foliage colour leaves some how takes you to another mood and time,we really enjoyed very much this day trip and wanted to share it with you all.

Trading the truck

In 2002 we have bought our first rig,F-250 1994 ,Turbo Diesel and a 1999 5w Wonderer from Thor.

After 4 years we have traded the 5W for a 2006 Cruiser and now we have traded our good old truck.

The Ford pulled the trailer from Alaska till Newfoundland with many side trips in between,overcame mountain peaks in Colorado and Wyoming with minimum problems, I took care of it and got in return a great pulling truck.

It took 24 hours from the time I published it for sale till the deal was completed and it actually surprised me that it went so fast and smooth.

I sold the Ford only after I have completed an Internet deal for a F-350 2006,SD,EC,Auto,SRW located in California from a person that later became a “friend” although I have never saw him in person.

Wayne was the only owner of this Ford and he was more “crazy” than I am when it comes to care and maintain the truck, it is clean,never had a body repair and beautiful inside and out.

Accidently I also “meet” on the RV forum a guy that bought a 5W from Wayne and he said that he would buy anything from Wayne with no fear at all.

Here is the new “beast” , it has everything I need to pull my 5W including hitch,towing mirrors,electrical connection,Tow/Haul Mode and special breaks.

Wayne was very straight forward and did everything to to help this transaction to go smooth.

I am already anxious to take it on the road..

Foliage colors in North Ontario

Many campgrounds close close to mid October because of the weather,the water freezes during the night and it starts to be a survival issue rather than enjoyment.

So we prepared the trailer for the winter and storied it just and hour from Toronto.

We are keeping the truck till we fly away and meantime enjoy the changing of the leave colors in Ontario.

The trip to Algonquin S.P was very pleasant when suddenly strong snow started to fall on us,it was unexpected and caught us of guard, so I pulled aside and took a shot through the window .

The snow stopped as it began and after 15 minutes the sun came out like nothing happened.

The power of nature was at its best,in the Spring it is the Waterfalls,in the Winter it is the Snow and now in Autumn it is the Foliage.

The rest of the trip was amazing,forests turn Yellow and Red,Lakes reflect the colors of the leaves and the ground is covered with leaves with different colors-Just beautiful.
