A Night Out on the Border


A Night Out on the Border

 We wanted to do something totally different that no one else would do. So we set off after
sunset and headed down an abandoned road on the Lebanon border hoping to meet up with an
IDF patrol. It only took about fifteen minutes  and this is what we came face to face with in the darkness.


All was good. They were a great bunch of young men. They did not speak much English
and us even less Hebrew. But we done OK.

                                                      These guys were so friendly


                         There was about ten of us, We outnumbered them but they had the guns.
                         These guys are out on duty for month or so at a time so do not get to buy 
                         stuff very often. We loaded them up with Candy and new socks which was
                         very much appreciated. Care packages for troops everywhere are always
                         welcome. Reminds me, I should put something  together for my son Spencer.
