Our week began Saturday night with a speech by Dore Gold (former ambassador to the UN from Israel) discussing our importance to recognizing our claim to Jerusalem, especially appropriate with the current Bush visit. Right after that, we figured that wasn't enough for the evening so we headed up the block for a concert by Pharoah's Daughter (their first tour in Israel). The concert was GREAT - a nice, small, intimate theatre that allowed us to sit in the 4th row for only 20 shekels a pop. The percussionist and the chick playing the recorders definitely took center stage. The percussionist had bells and things attached to his ankles and was playing a old fashioned clay jug as if it was a drum. The recorder lady was switching between about 7 different recorders and when she needed multiple sounds, she just decided to play two at a time.
This was just the beginning of the week, for bright and early Monday morning we headed down to Be'er Sheva and Eilat for a couple of days. Sun, touring, good food and a nice hotel made it a great couple of days. Here is a pic or two and hopefully Aaron will fill in more soon.
