Beaches and Weddings and Helicopters

August 13, 2006 - 7:53 AM by Allison

Imshin took some time off from war-watching over the weekend. But reminders were always hovering overhead.

If you are reading this from Israel and you are in a safe zone (and not keeping Shabbat, in which case you won’t be reading this for a few hours anyway), you really should head for the beach, if you haven’t been already. The water is lovely. White flag. Don’t forget plenty of sunscreen, or perhaps you should wait a few hours till it gets cooler.

Youngest and I went early-ish, on our bikes.

Bish’s work associate was released from reserve duty in the north for his wedding, which took place yesterday at lunchtime. We were told quite a few of his friends were abscent, because they weren’t released.

Here are some photos I took during the event, with my cell:

This is the Chuppa, the wedding canopy

Note the helicopter in the sky. There were quite a few of those going passed all the time. Just in case anyone thinks we forgot for a moment that there was a war going on.
