This is at about 9 in the morning, the sun had still not come out and a little drizzle was in the air. In the background you can see Kibbutz Grofit with a wispy cloud hanging just over it. In the picture is Itai and me bathroommates for life.
This Acacia picked a good spot to live!
It was too late, however, for this acacia.
Here we find a snake seeking cover from the rain under a rock. I don't think he particularly wanted company.
The official definition that you hear most times of "wadi" is "dry river bed." So I guess these were, for a brief 24 hour period, not wadis but rivers.
Here we find a waterfall!
And up close.
We climbed up a crevice in the rock and shimmied to the top of the waterfall. By this point the sun had come up and the people below were rejoicing. For those of you in cold climates. Think about the first snowfall of the year and how excited everyone gets. Now think about if you hadn't had snow in 25 YEARS! Anyone who had kids took their children out to see the flood. It's a once-a-generation sort of thing.
Itai in a rock pool. nuts.
