I am still alive !

Hi everybody !

If somebody was curious about me I am obliged to upset you - everything is all right with me, just nothing interesting has happen last month :)
Everything going as usual, I continue to train to the Tiberias Marathon for coming winter according to the training program I got from Jarred. Oops, I forgot to tell you it before ?
Yeah, each time I had finished the Haifa-Atlit-Haifa run along the beach I was thinking about myself able to do a real thing and run complete marathon distance ... and with the time the wishes transformed to something more realizable. Hopefully everything will go smoothly and you will be invited 10 January, 2008 to Kinneret to support me !
But now, when the marathon dream already realized itself, its place was taken by another dream, much crazier than previous one! Actually I am still in doubt but looks like it is only matter of time :)
What do you think about a sky diving ?
Actually I already decided that I don't like tandem jump only idea and now the question only if I will be able to find single jump course or will go for full AFF program. All the sky diving clubs I found here, in Israel, not allowing single jump courses for some reason. It looks like the services provided by all the clubs are pretty similar, the difference is only in club's location and course prices. For example you could look on one of the clubs at http://www.skykef.co.il/.
You are welcome to leave some comments (or sky diving experiences of you had some) to help me with my decision !

Department Event

Finally I managed to collect a pictures from Department event we had last week. So better later than never, here is a photo account of Intel MG Architecture Department event, July 29, 2007 !

Reminds some old good school days, isn't ?

We started the day with a track on Banias river, walking along the stream under the sun and looking for the best place to jump in.

Time to get wet !

After the track we continued to Kayaking. Kayaking of Kfar Blum is very well known route and for most of us it wasn't the first time doing it. I did exactly the same route about 4 years ago with army but it still was fun. Actually this time I even understood how to control the boat and make it sail in right direction :)

Unfortunatelly this time also nobody took pictures during the Kayaking (probably because of nobody wanted to stay on the shore with the camera instead of having fun).

You could find more pictures from Banias here.
