But the clear winner here is&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I let my 5 year old rappel down a cliff. Yes, that&#8217;s right. The materials were very clear: &#8220;Children age 9 and older and adults may rappel.&#8221; But this is Israel. And the rules don&#8217;t matter. And the guide said, &#8220;If he&#8217;s not afraid, he can go! I took down a 3 year old once.&#8221; And the boy was not afraid (thankfully, the girl was, because I couldn&#8217;t have handled that one). <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Rappel! Rappel! Rappel! Rappel!&#8221; he chanted all the way there (he&#8217;s the one in the red shirt on the right below). Halfway down, Adam had to give him a little hand because he didn&#8217;t want to let go of the rope, but he made it down, and while he thought it was a bit scary, he doesn&#8217;t seem to be harmed.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve also: hiked in Mahktesh Ramon, eaten in a Bedouin tent, rode a llama (Pie), saw ibexes in the middle of the street on a run (Jenny), visited and lunched at the home of a Moroccan Jew, floated in the Dead Sea, had spa treatments (Adam and Jenny), saw camels, watched <i>Strawberry Shortcake<\/i> in Hebrew (Pie and Doodles), not slept much, ate way too much, and have generally had a very good time. Yes, there&#8217;s more to tell. But the Internet connection is costly and I&#8217;m on a borrowed computer. So tomorrow, off to Massada and Ein Gedi and then Sfat.
