 When I emailed my teacher Nechama Hashiloni from Hebrewonline that I was going to volunteer with www.sar-el.org see under Feature Articles, by Sophia Trouwborst. Nechama lost no time to invite me. She picked me up at the Care Home Mishan in Beersheva where I was volunteering. I had the choice of where to go. Since I had seen a lot of Israel already I told her that I would like to see the old city of Avdat. Nechama's husband Asher was so kind to drive us to the top and picked us up at the bottom while we were admiring what once (May be 3000 years ago) had been a wonderful spice route city.

We had a great time looking at the old place where they made their wine and the left overs from churches and buildings with arches. Also Ein Avdat at the bottom by Sde Boker, there were may Campus Storiesbe 20 school kids taking mud baths with all their clothes on. They looked like they came from another planet. We could see that it had been raining the week before. We ate at a goat cheese corn place. A little restaurant with a view and 2 tents which looked like Bedouin tents. They sat on the ground with carpets and a black frayed top. It looked very cozy though. While my friends enjoyed their goat cheese I had some nice apple pie and peppermint tea.

It was in the middle of no where. We saw a sign and followed a small sand path. I find it always interesting to see something different. Without Nechama I would have never been there. It's needless to say that my time has been well spent and I will look back at it with pleasure. How wonderful that a teacher I only met by computer actually became my friend. We enjoy emailing each other too. Thank you so much again Nechama. You are a wonderful teacher and friend.
