Today Val, Ishai, puppy Oz, and myself went on a tiyul ("trip" in Hebrew) to an area called Little Switzerland in the Mt. Carmel National Park. I've never been to Switzerland so I can't really pass judgement on the name of the area, however the views were beautiful, the trees in full bloom, and mosquitos out ready to feed. It was nice to get out of Tel Aviv for the day and see some more of Israel. I really hope to develop a deeper knowledge of this country during my time here, so this tiyul was a good start.
