We have attached a short video of our ride from the Moshav in Amirim, to our Kibbutz El Rom here in the Northern Golan. On our way Roi (our host from the Moshav) decided to take us to the Jordan River via a VERY small, curvy, dangerous, bumpy, think I might die, dirt road. On top of all that he let Nick drive. AHHHH!! lol....
This is the Jordan
We also stopped at a beautiful guest house which we have attached some pictures of. 
Once we arrived at the Kibbutz we were suprised to find a furnished one bedroom apartment all ready for us to move into. Complete with satalite TV(which we have gotten rid of!) and the promise of internet access that finally started to work last week. Our go to guy on the Kibbutz and work supervisor, Peter, has been an encouraging and supportive person. We both experience him as a great teacher in our new jobs as Landscapers, as well as informing us of the local history. He is a father of two very adorable boys (Boaz and Johav)and was the youngest sergent in the Brish Army as a young man. He has alot to share, including some new curse words we've never even heard of!!
Oh man, that is great to see some more pics finally! And to hear your voices and see your smiling faces on the video! What an awesome way to connect with you. The plants and trees look beautiful too and the watering hole. I'm glad you're in such a beautiful place. Glad to meet Roi too! I'm really happy for you that you're having such an awesome adventure. Miss you too though.
