| Nice, France 28 December 2018 It was so warm, tons of people were on the beach soaking up that lovely winter vitamin D |
| Happy & Healthy 2019 - feeling very grateful and blessed and looking forward to our 2019 adventures! It was a big effort to get Baci up to this spot. He is old and not very spry. We drove him up most of the way, and he wallered up the last hill and was happy to be with us sniffing around and being outside, even if Zaven wasn't with us. Serole, Italia 1 Gennaio |









| Portofino is only an hour and a half away and just so gorgeous. The teeny, tiny, narrow road from Santa Margharita to Portofino is washed out so you have to park and walk about 10 kilometer round trip. That long winter sun, turquoise water, the colorful, quaint villas, warmer than here weather and beautiful views of the Riviera made the chilly stroll lovely. Portofino, Italia 4 Gennaio 2019 Vacation is over blues ... Joe and Zaven are heads down in their programs January : Israel. With Lori of course February : Barcelona x2 March : Singapore and Australia to visit Kerry (I am so excited, I have wanted to go to Aus) April : London Oslo And yoga, yoga, yoga |














| I found this photo on my yoga cohort What'sApp group chat. This program is all consuming and I always feel behind and I have so much to learn. It's 200 hours in class and another 1000+ out of class. Uff. But I am loving it. If you want to do yoga with me - let me know Scuola Anahata Yoga Bornasco, Italy |
| I love Israel so much, it is such a special place for me and I am so fortunate that I get invited to do my work there. I always stay at the Yam Hotel near the port. They are wonderful and treat me (and Lori) like family. I love the food. It is fresh and multi cultural and healthy. I love Israel, but really don't like being away from home, Joe, Zaven, the kitties and Baci for more than a week 13-24 January 2019 Israel Coming up: February | Barcelona x2 March | Singapore & Australia (& Kerry) Grenoble, France April | London & Oslo May | Israel & maybe the States June | Norway And yoga, yoga, yoga |
We had two leadership sessions at a kibbutz type place outside of Tel Aviv - near Nes Ziona - it is called Krypton Ayanot. They have beautiful meeting facilities, with lots of outdoor spaces for conversations, excellent food and it was also there was an agricultural vocational high school - so there were plants and animals - like a farm. I was in heaven. There were goats. Baby goats. This one was born by C-section and his twin died in child birth and his mom died a few days later - I saw the video, I wasn't surprised. Ouch and ewe. The kids named him Dumbo because of his ears. I got to hold him when he was a day old and then one week later. It was a HUGE highlight of my trip. Ohhhh I want a baby goat. I am sure Baci and the kitties would love a goat too. 13-24 January 2019 Krypton Ayanot |









| We went to the Dead Sea and stayed at the Ein Gedi kibbutz, but on the way we stopped in Jerusalem and visited the Western Wall. Jerusalem 18 January 2019 |


| Ein Gedi for Shabbat dinner was very special and the weekend- the sun rising and setting over the Dead Sea and Jordan - the trees and birds. Yoga and walks. I love it there. Ein Gedi, Israel 18-20 January 2019 |
