April 6th 2013 – Wadi Mezin, Israel

Wadi Mezin, Israel
I’ve been thinking a lot of how I take a snapling course… (in English it is called Rappelling. Somehow we managed to take a name of a carabiner and make it into a a word that sounds like an English word =).
Unfriendly, between my work and my studies (and Atzva – My girlfriend who won’t allow me to go every weekend for 4 months) I didn’t manage to find time for it yet… =/
But it doesn’t mean I can convince other who knew and have equipment to do snapling here and there =)
We first thought of doing the black canyon in the Yehudia stream (snapling in wet waterfalls!), but it is still closed for the winter season. Instead our friends took us to Wadi Mezin in Judaean desert! (Waterfalls, but a lot higher!)
Girl… I need to do it more often… =)
