My First Two Weeks in Israel - Day 10 - Walk to Ariel Sharon Park, Picnic with Miriam’s Family at Menahem Begin Park






Friday, April 8 – Walk to Ariel Sharon Park, Picnic with Miriam’s Family at Menahem Begin Park

In the morning, I walked to the main road to explore the area. The Avenue is called “Tayasim” (Avenue of Pilots in Hebrew.)  Before me appeared the quiet and peaceful Ariel Sharon Park, where I took several photos admiring the garden-like setting, the birds, trees and flowers. I returned home in a rush to shower, as Miriam was picking me up to take me to the planned Shabbat picnic at the Park Menahem Begin. I was ecstatic to meet Miriam, a wonderful and loyal friend, and the extended family.  They put together a spread of good food, including barbecued meats and a variety of salads.  I connected with the three grandchildren, and was especially captivated with the 8-month old baby girl whose smile and good nature robbed my heart.  Miriam suggested that I sleep over, but I truly wanted to come home, and she was extremely supportive of my wishes.  We agreed to meet the next day to share more time together, given that she works all week.
