Last week, my friend Moshe and I went out to our usual mountain biking in the weekend. We planned to a 31.5 Km trail in a very technical area on Mount Sodom. Unfortunately, we map and instruction we got for this specific trail was not so clear. Therefore, we missed the right trail and, got lost in the canyons. We realized that we were not in the right direction. Then, we decided to turn around and return to the beginning of the trail in order to restart from the right point. So, we did. We restart in the right track. We advance some 10Km, but as it was getting late an, we didn't want to spend the night in the mountains. We had to give up the trail and try it again another time.

This weekend we cannot ride because my son is ill. Therefore, next week we will be trying again this beautiful trail. I'm attaching some pictures, so you can see a beautiful desert landscape.

PM Sharon to remain under sedation for 48 hours

PM Sharon to remain under sedation for 48 hours

When travelling to work this morning, I heard in shock the news that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon had just been hospitalized for an emergency surgery. I pray for his quick and full recovery.

He is the only Israeli politician capable of leading Israel into a peaceful existence. I'm very sad as my whole country is in this moment.
