When I drpove the first time to Pardes Hana to visit the parents of my boyfriend, i was hungering for green...it was the end of a winter in the desert and my European past tolde for the nature to becom me somehow that this is the time green. But Beer Sheva simply stayed as it was...beige like the negev. Somehow this didnt seem right so I changed the place, when we sat in the trsain the first green appeared already a few ten minutes after Beer Sheva in Kiriat gat, and from then on it continuad to grow and grow antil we really reached the paradies (the garden) of hana. On the second day guy took me on a jeep tour through the mountains and it was amazing, we walked through forsts, little rivers and flowers without end. I really loved this part of israel.
