Well, we are leaving the beautiful beautiful state of California and we'll miss it terribly. I know. I said the same thing when we left Boston did I not? But truly, Santa Barbara county is a place of beauty.. the green hills, the massive trees..the ocean, the glorious weather. It's a state that we would love to come back to when we're ready to settle down. yea..either here or Boston~ :-) We spent Saturday afternoon at the El Capitan State park~ .. so it's goodbye to California for now and Hello once again to Israel! We're thrilled to be sent back to the little country of Israel~ there are so many places we still need to see! We were hurried on our trip to Jerusalem in September and promised each other that we'd come back and hike an area called the Mata Forest [forest of Peace]..there are some very sweet ruins there. So, the next time I post we should be in Be'er Sheva, Israel..stay safe everyone!
