REVISITING DAVID BEN-GURION'S DESERT HOME & KIBBUTZ SEDE BOKER (4th JULY, 2009).

After three consecutive Jerusalem trips it was high time for a change. I went for the Kibbutz Sede Boker option; located at a walkable distance from our campus. Almost a year have passed since I paid my first visit to to the Home of David Ben-Gurion in Kibbutz Sede Boker. It took approximately 40 minutes of pleasant walk through the fields near our backyards to the kibbutz. Before entering the kibbutz, we spent a quality time exploring the Rafi Garden. An open garden deep inside the desert, with more than 15 species of deciduous trees full of fresh delicious fruits-appeared to me like a mini Eden Garden. Hats off to the Israeli technology, considering the fact that these desert areas are very dry and hardly receive an annual rainfall of 100 mm. The following few snaps are taken from the Rafi Garden, Ben-Gurion's Desert Home and from the kibbutz as such. Big thanks to you Ram for organizing this short yet interesting trip.
