Shortcut to the Desert

Gabi, Gil, and Martin in the Desert
This is a most amazing discovery. I recently found a shortcut from my apartment in Tel Aviv to the desert near Arad. Just climb through the photo frame and Bingo! You are in the desert. Saves traveling time. I haven't yet found an equivalent shortcut in Arad for getting back to Tel Aviv the fast way.

Here we are in the desert:

At the End of Arad...

...where the desert starts.

The International House of Sampson...

...is THE place to be in Arad. The hospitality of Martin, Zohara, Tal, and not to forget Simba and Nala, deserves a special award. Preferably in the shape of a gigantic cake! So do their world-famous parties.

Pros:"The International House of Sampson."
Cons:"Not enough cake. LOL."
In A Nutshell:"Simba and Nala, but they are too large now."

 I passed through Arad a few times in the '70's and remember the Black Hewbrews who had just arrived from Ethiopia and some new age hippies from Jerusalem and Tel-Aviv. Had a role of film confiscated of Dimona Plant...Tim

 we hit Arad in 1989 - I see the main road has improved considerably from the narrow cement of that time. But the amazing desert remains the same. Didn't understand how people could iive there.
