Random Pictures Round Up #1

Here are some pictures that I took with a purpose and want to share with the world. No need for further elaboration. A picture is worth a thousand words, enjoy!

I pass by these almost daily on my walk into the main part of town. I have no idea what they are!!! Anyone have any ideas?

Quality graffiti spotted in Eilat.

I do not remember the entire story but I will try my best to summarize: Enemy nations/ groups have boats with these containers filled with weapons. The enemies themselves sink the boats- on purpose. These groups send divers to release a tab from the weapons containers that allow them to float to the top of the sea. They then retrieve the tanks and use the weapons to attack Israel.

This is what FRESH dates look like! Picked them up from the shuk :) Nice and juicy though not as sweet and chewy as dried dates.

A kibbutz worker is clipping branches from a date palm tree. Dates are the "gold" of Israel, they bring in more revenue than any other fruit.

A high-five goes to the first person who can guess what is being farmed here!

That fort is on Jordanian soil, you can see how close we go the the Jordanian border during our visit to Kibbutz Eilot. 
A beautiful view from a BATHROOM STALL on our visit to a nature reserve around Kibbutz Eilot.

Visiting a spice factory we got a lesson on algae! Not sure what the connection was... a bit odd...

Flamingos! (That's what those white dots are!) Such beautiful creatures they are :)

A train chugging along on the boardwalk in Eilat. Let's go for a ride!

An ice rink INSIDE a mall in Eilat!

A husband-and-wife-owned-and-opereated restaurant five minutes from where I live. They made me a customized vegan pad thai! They have been together for 27 years and met in the army.
