This is it. Another few hours and they will fly back to Amsterdam. Stephane and I will definitely miss Gerald and Lotte... we had a really nice week and they seem to have enjoyed themselves very much. The pictures here-under prove it... don't they? And more importantly, they want to come back. Gerald has met family he had never met. Cousins his own age in Herzlia and in Beer Sheva. We tried to give them a little taste of Israel. Of its contrasts, its history, its reality. The super modern Tel Aviv versus Biblical Jerusalem. The industrial Haifa versus historical Ako. High tech Herzlia versus artistic Jaffa. The green hills of Carmel mountain versus the breathtaking sceneries in the Negev Desert and at the dead sea. We wanted them to understand where we live. To experience the food, the smells, the straigh cats, the crazy drivers, the noises (especially those of the car horns...). I hope we succeeded. I believe we did. Tel Aviv is not the perfect place on earth but it is where I live, where I feel at home and happy. Where my heart and my soul are. Where my future is. I am happy to have been able to share this with my son Gerald.
