The Jerusalem Forest

My spring break began with an adventure with the Harkavy's (a camp family who is currently in Israel). They invited me to join them on a day adventure in the Jerusalem Forest. For those of you who have never been, its a beautiful place that many organized trips often leave out. Its the area southwest of Jerusalem filled will hikes, wineries, kibbutzim, springs and beautiful views. We ended up stumbling on the Israel Air Force Memorial, accidentally drove an 8km hike around the top of the Sataf Mountain, hiked a nice trail at Kibbutz Tzuba and saw some new areas of the country - beautiful ones and ones lying very close to the West Bank which were less than beautiful. I love a good adventure, more to come this passover break.
