Just got back from 16 days in Bulgaria. Visited Sofia, Plovdiv, Kazanluk and Veliko Turnovo. Will get my pics straightened out and start posting in a few days, I hope.

It rained last night!!!
The dust of summer has been washed away.
Everything is shiny, green and new !
First rain in 6 months.
How exciting, how marvelous, how invigorating!!
Israel is one of those countries with a rainy season. That means that after Passover (March/April) it pretty much does not rain until after the High Holidays (September/October), when, hopefully, the country is blessed with the return of rain.
There's even a Biblical promise (Deut. 11: 9 – 14 ): " I will give you the rain of your land in its due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your corn, and your wine, and your oil. "
So we pray for the first rain. We even have two Hebrew words for the first rainfall. It's sometimes called the "bakhora" First Things but more often is called the " yoreh " Yoreh |
She took my fancy... Where to begin...I am a mature woman, a granny. I travel solo now
for a number of years. At first I was terrified and went on only organized
tours (3X). Fairly quickly I realized I could probably do better on my own. I like to go slowly, settle in for some days, get to know a place. Not for
me running around just to see - I want to absorb, to appreciate, to understand...
Many, many thanks to all who helped with the planning for my 16 day trip to Amsterdam, Brugge, Gent, Antwerp and Brussels. It made my travels so much more enjoyable.

I love New Zealand !! And I love this little Rain poem and the Rainforests of New Zealand!
Having seen this on Ilona's page PushiRubiano
Now... a serious point... with global warming affecting our
planet more and more, some guilty feelings were creeping in there,
thinking about the amounts of carbon that is emitted by our travelling,
I did some research into buying so-called 'carbon offsets'. After getting
lots of info from the internet, I decided on Conservation International,
mainly because... This way, you can choose how many carbon offsets
you want to purchase.
Think about it... give something back to this beautiful planet you so love exploring! Conservation International I found it a good idea and did the same.
May I suggest that all of us interested in travelling owe something to
the wonderful world we all like to visit? |
