IBL (Israel Baseball League)
The Israel Baseball League is the professional baseball league of Israel. In the IBL’s inaugural season, there will be six teams -- The Bet Shemesh Blue Sox, The Modi’in Miracle, The Netanya Tigers, The Petach Tikva Pioneers, The Ra'anana Express, and The Tel Aviv Lightning. Among the managers of the IBL’s teams are former Major League stars Art Shamsky, Ken Holtzman, and Ron Blomberg.
The IBL has quickly established itself as a League-of-Choice for the premier international baseball player. Already signed for its inaugural season are players from the United States, Canada, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, Australia, Europe, and, of course, Israel. Players from additional countries are expected to be added over the coming months. The players signed all have significant baseball pedigrees, being alums from the Minor Leagues, national teams, college varsity teams, and other major baseball programs.
Opening Day for its premier season has been pegged to take place at Yarkon Sports Complex in the Baptist Village of Petach Tikva on June 24, 2007. The six teams each will play a 45-game schedule, augmented by a mid-season All-Star Game and a season-ending Championship Game.

The Sea of Galilee at Sunset
The Sea of Galilee
As we were driving around the Sea of Galilee, I began to wonder when Jss was here. So I opened to the Gospels and began to search for the "Sea of Galilee". I soon realized that every time the "sea" is mentioned in the Gospels, it is refering to the Sea of Galilee. Wow! I never realized that. Jss walked on water, calmed the sea, called Peter and Andrew to follow Him, etc and so much more. It's not that big either! It's about the size of a lake. So Jss's teachings and miracles all happened in such a small area, right here!

Loquat Tree?
Have you ever seen a loquat tree, or ever heard of the fruit, loquat? Well, I hadn't until now. They are so good! It's kind of mix between a mango and a peach.
The loquat is indigenous to southeastern China. It was introduced into Japan and became naturalized there in very early times. And some how they got to this country, I don't know.
They are really expensive to buy in the store, but they grow right where I live, so we can eat them anytime we want.

Max Brenner
Ok, are you ready for this? This is a new Chocolate Restuarant. One just opened in NYC, but there has been one here for awhile. It's pretty much my favorite restuarant now! The menu has like 10 pages of all chocolate items, from drinks to deserts. And there is only one page of real food. Ok, so you have to check out this website. This dude, Max Brenner, is brilliant!

The Dead Sea
Ok, who knew that there were palm trees in this country. I had no idea!
Wow, the Dead Sea is so salty! You just can't imagine how salty it is until you taste it. I about gagged, blah!!! And a little FYI for those of you who may go someday, don't get any of that water near your eyes. Ouch, it burns!!! Lol, from experience!
But it's so fun to swim in. You just float, and even you tried you coudn't sink yourself. We had a great time!
