Daisy the weimaraner is 18 months old - still a little silly, but very sweet & lovely! Israel, on my one visit, was fascinating - in TelAviv and Jerusalem mostly, with a guide showing me around during the day - up to Galilee, down to the Dead Sea & Masada, which was fascinating for this gentile! Visited the new museum with two lovely expat Israeli ladies, both in their early sixties, so it was very personal and interesting.. Yes, the diamonds came from the Diamond Centre - I think my husband made sure I was fully occupied during my time in Tel Aviv so that I wouldn't get the chance to go myself!! My son & his girlfriend also visited Israel at the end of an after-school "gap" year - catching up with my husband there, then using the same guide - amazing experience!
