Northward bound!

Whew!  Babysitting for 2 days was great, if not a bit exhausting!  Actually we had a wonderful time and the kids were terrific.  We decided to take a little tiyul (trip) of our own.  We headed north toward Mt. Hermon, the tallest mountain in Israel.  We were in search of cool breezes and new adventures.  We stopped at an overlook to see Kuneitra, an old Syrian city which was the stronghold of the Syrian army during the 1973 war.  Today it is part of Israel, with the new city of Kuneitra right across the border.  The border crossing is has its own interesting stories and we'll have more so say on this later.  Here we go -- northward bound!
