It is a little late to be posting Christmas photos but it has been a busy schedule since I returned last November. En Gedi, down by the Dead Sea, is a beautiful place to visit. That is especially true in the winter time when it is damp and cold in Jerusalem. En Gedi, complete with caves and springs of running water, was a good place for David to hide from King Saul. Then Saul went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men on the other side of the mountain. So David made haste to get away from Saul, for Saul and his men were encircling David and his men to take them. But a messenger came to Saul, saying, "Hurry and come, for the Philistines have invaded the land!" Therefore Saul returned from pursuing David, and went against the Philistines; so they called that place the Rock of Escape. Then David went up from there and dwelt in strongholds at En Gedi. 1st Samuel 23:26-29.
Looking across Wadi Arugot, that is Kibbutz En Gedi, where we stayed.

In addition to a botanical garden, Kibbutz En Gedi has a mini zoo.
