It’s 8 PM and we’re all ready for bed. Unfortunately the marina bar/restaurant just next to where we are docked has just come to life. The music isn’t screaming and is kind of a mellow sound so maybe we’ll all fall asleep. Tomorrow or the next day we’ll move the boat to the end of the dock area so it will be better. After our 2 night passage we’re all pretty tired. There is lots of security to deal with when you enter Israel, but everyone was polite, efficient and not the least bit scary. Just polite young men and women who asked lots of questions.
Herzliya is a big city, so much different than our world in Karpaz Gate. We are all sort of missing it….but we have also had visits from other cruisers very curious about DoraMac and all offer to help us. Everything in the modern supermarket is written in Hebrew except for things like Hellman’s Mayonnaise or such. We could create a really strange meal if we bought only those products that we could read the labels. But we only have to ask and people are happy to help.
So that’s it and I’m off to bed.

ps the music got loud and I asked them to lower it and now it’s off….hmm. They probably think we’re nuts!
Heidi and Kalle’s World
I have already written about Heidi and Kalle and their home. This was Charmaine and Linda’s first visit so we toured the garden and house. I think it was our favorite part of the visit to Girne…sharing time with Heidi and Kalle in their beautiful home.

Entry into their world of art and light.
A slightly magical world for those of us lucky to visit.
First a tour through Kalle’s garden.
Checking the vines.
And the herbs and lavender.
It was all beautiful, smelled wonderful, and we’ve tasted it too: the wine, olive oil and herbs for cooking.
Heidi created these “Stargazers.”
Wouldn’t you just love meals at this table!
A water tank outside Kalle’s garage/workspace/winery!
Our room!
Or at least when we visit. We are surrounded by light and Heidi’s art as it is her work space
Linda and Charmaine helping with the meals.
Meals at this table were wonderful too!
Halls of art and books!
