Reunion at Sde Boker

Our friend Cate (who we visited in India last year) picked Ian and Asha up at the airport in Tel Aviv. All hostels and homes were totally booked that night, so the only option was for them to drive south several hours to our dear friend Leilah's home in the beautiful desert community of Sde Boker. Two days later, I drove down to meet them. Yay!

Leilah is there doing graduate work in soil and water science. Here is Leilah with her current research project:
