Hi,
Tel Meggido, Or as you might know it – Armageddon

There is nothing scary about this place, maybe except this is where the fight between Good and Evil in the end of times Right now it is a nice hill with an archeological site on top.

Atzva and I rent a car to hike a bit and to mark Atzva birthday. Yep, this is my idea on how to celebrate birthdays.

After Atzva bought me for my birthday a set to make cocktails, which is what she want – I decided to celebrate her birthday they way I want

Take Care
