Cool. Too bad ...Sara, oh, I see now what you mean. Cool. Too bad it is really the metal struts that hold up the roof. <br /><br />Kay, bugs? I think they would die of the heat up there in the spring, summer, and fall. <br />Yes, the reserve is well maintained. Maybe too well. Last time I was in the wadi, decades ago, the nature was still wild and the trails primitive. <br /><br />Lucy, I was impressed by the palm roof too. <br />The water was fine for hands. <br /><br />Ciel, exactly! That's what make me laugh about, photograph, and post that silly sign. <br /><br />VP and Ciel, in general you are right about Israelis. But truly, I did not see any litter in our 7 or 8 hours of hiking. I'm not sure how to explain it. I'd like to think that we have a special respect for the flora and fauna in our land. Many decades ago, for instance, a public educational campaign was begun to stop people from picking wildflowers. And it worked! <br /><br />Snack-sniffing dogs! Hahaha, very funny. But NO.<br />But the fact that the kids did not eat inside the wadi . . . maybe it is for a practical reason. <br />There is almost nowhere to sit, especially not for a big group of kids. In the narrow canyon you have a cliff, water in many places at the base, the narrow trail and narrow stairs, some rockfall and boulders, and the opposite cliff. <br /><br />And there are no trash cans along the way. <br /><br />Classes are hiking with their teachers and an armed guard (every group brings their own). Young kids are there with their parents. So teachers and parents would not let the kids break the eating rule.Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461925401870320466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-22925672665276229202010-01-20T21:22:56.551+02:002010-01-20T21:22:56.551+02:00You know what?
