We are now in the intermediate days of Pesach, and almost everything is closed for the entire week. Just about the only exceptions are grocery stores. This is the norm all over Israel.
Today (Thursday) I went with some friends on a short trip into the mountains to a park near the Hadassah Hospital near En Kerem. There are some very nice views and a wonderful nature trail. I have put some of these below for your enjoyment.
The yellow plant below is mustard. Yes, you CAN eat it!
In the picture below there is an old train track area next to the road. This was the first train route built by the Ottomans, and it ran from Jaffa to Jerusalem.
The red plant below is called, in Hebrew, the Dom Maccabeem. The English translation is blood of the Maccabees. This flower is used to symbolize all those who have perished in any Israeli conflicts.
The white flower is a variety of garlic.
The last picture is of a friend’s dog, a Husky.
