Shefayim, to thee I travel...
Kibbutz Shefayim is half an hour north of Tel Aviv... it is a kibbutz , home to a water park, a shopping mall (aah, liberalization and commerce!!), and a beach (referred to by my roommate R as "the most beautiful place in the world" - she would know, she is from Shefayim)!
Last week, the "most beautiful place in the world" also hosted the 2005 Annual Jellyfish Convention. As a result, anyone venturing into the water not only made sure that the "rip tide" didnt tear their swinsuits from their selves, they also kept an eye out for floating heads of membranous water a.k.a Jellyfish Supreme. The look of pure bliss on my face stems from the fact that I not only had a good time, but I also avoided the sweet faced monsters!!"
Talking about sweet faced, R is spending her summer taking care of the kids in the pre-school day care center at the Kibbutz, and everyday, the lovely mutt pictured below my hand makes her way to play with the pre-schoolers! The true test of whether a dog is suitable to be among children is to let loose 3-4 pre-schoolers on it... Rosa (lovely name, isnt it?) didnt move, bark, snarl, or jump on any of the kids... she sat their and took their punishment like an angel.... sweet!
I intend to revenge myself on the jellyfish... will figure out how sometime soon.... i have time...

Jelly Belly!
These medditeranean jelly fish are less fearsome than they look. If you get stung - a little bit of vinegar on the ensuing irritation is supposed to do the trick. Just try to keep them away from your face.
The kids on the other hand can be quite fearsome...
[vee] Thank thee! Maybe ze cats in your neighbourhood can take a lesson or two from the mutt
More pics, as they happen!
[seesaw mcflint]Me hungry!!
[anonymous] Vinegar, yes, thank you... exactly what was advised by my roommates; but in our hurry to get to the beach, we left that important elixir behind! So it was upto the trusty eyes to spot 'em jellies, before they spotted us!!! :-)
The kids, for all their fearsome reputation, were the epitome of sweetness, goodness and light!! too cool!
