From Sea to Shining Sea

We're baaack....yep, back in ol' NYC, the Big Apple, the City of Dreams etc., after a mad, exciting, enjoyable trip to Israel (photos below), many good times. There are quite a few 'sub-posts' and photos to show, so this entry is but an 'intro.'...here we go:

Scene 1: We arrived in Israel on a sunny winter's day, (and were grateful for the change after 2-3 very cold days in NYC), caught up the family and, as one would expect....headed to the Herzliya Marina...Its a favourite spot of ours - nearby to my sister's place, with a stunning ocean view (Am I a salesman or what)? Anyways, the 'kids' are below:










Scene 2: The 'Girls'...well Nic and our nieces in any case...









Scene 3: The jetsetting couple:









It's always great to catch-up and see how the 'young ones' have grown up. I mean you can imagine how proud I was when I heard that Akiva (my eldest nephew) was into Metallica and Iron Maiden (and I mean into it) and Channah (my eldest niece), was begging her mother for a nose-ring....yes the zionist dream is being fufilled....Batsheva (child no.3) and Erza (child no.4) - phew, I am exhausted thinking about it as well - are still too young and innocent (at least I think so)...

As noted in a previous entry, the wedding itself was amazing, some snappies:

Scene 1: Ready to rumble:









Scene 2: The bride and grrom in the 'thick of it':









Scene 3: Gettin' down'
