Random Scenes, Rhymes and Farewell

If this is your first time reading, the Dinberg and Gorwitz families went to Israel for Ariana and Gabrielle's bat mitzvah's.  What a great trip!  The blog started off with a bit more commentary, but by the end, Carolyn and Jeff just wrote some rhyming paragraphs to capture the moments.  This page gathered random pix and put them together--start from the beginning to get a real flavor of the trip!  

*****

Our family trip came to a tearful end

Not a moment to soon--we were out of sheckels to spend

Memories to last a lifetime were made

Even though it was 110 in the shade

A magical trip with every day being sunny

We are all going to miss the land of milk and honey.

A large family came from the states

To explore all that is old and is great

Into the tunnels they went

Up the Masada ascent

To learn about our Jewish traits.

The cousins got along great

As they traveled the Jewish state

They had their own strengths

And went to great lengths

To be the best of mates

*****

Zach took notes on a pad

Dani's Hebrew was sometimes not bad

Matt threw stones with great aim

A taquita roll was Ariana's claim to fame

And Gabi's shopping made her glad

*****

Ariana obsessed over stripes 

No one dared to try hooka pipes

We ate too much hummus and pita 

Saw that the Israel grass is greener

This trip deserves lots of likes

The iPhones were taken

The girls were a shakin

Aunt Carolyn tried her best

But she couldn't pass the test

Now the girls have stopped quaken

Tel Aviv--Day 10

Only a day in Tel Aviv what a pity

We are down to the nitty gritty

Old Jaffa and art

We don't want to part

Then beach and market --just part of the city

Haifa--Days 9 and 10

We headed to Haifa to close day 9

We should all learn to be so fine

The gardens --a beautiful sight

the many religions don't fight

And at dinner a good glass of wine

The Dead Sea--Day 6, part 3

On to the Dead Sea we drove

It's brutally hot like a stove

In the water you float

No need for a boat

Take a shower and head for the cove.

Dead Sea is famed for its mud
Spread it all over you look like a stud
Then bake in the sun
This is supposed to be fun?
Wash it off after it feels like crud

The view from the room was amazing
The sun as it rose was blazing
Breakfast iced Aromas galore
Dinner was falafel and more
And Jeff on his throne we were praising
