Hey Y'all! I had some internet access problems and was completely cut off from the internet! It's a long story, but it's over now. So, sorry for the delay. Hope to post a bunch in the next few days....

The last time I was in Eilat was over 16 years ago!
I was single, young, healthy, and going to live forever!!
And there was nothing here!!
The underwater observation center was a wonderful, but dinky tourist attraction.
There were only a few hotels, one or two beaches renting snorkeling equipment, and a small, sleepy town.
That was it.
Eilat was, mostly, a lot of empty beach.
Not anymore.
The youth hostel, which used to be way out of town, is now close to the edge, but well within the city.
There are a plethora of hotels, each one more extravagant than the next.
The architecture is fantastic!
And there is plenty to do besides swimming and sunbathing.
I feel like I have landed on another planet!
Please daven (or send happy, healing thoughts) for RivkA bat Teirtzel.
With love and optimism,
RivkA
