For reasons that are unfathomable to me (yet for which I remain grateful), he does love doing that kind of thing. I don't think he really used a chainsaw, but he did saw through a bunch of those things and they were impressively thick. <br /><br />Thank you Marcy! I think the palm trees are all orderly like that because they are date orchards.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10439582294571462742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29122639.post-2997121882547271032011-05-19T10:12:08.156-05:002011-05-19T10:12:08.156-05:00Was that a palm oil farm or a desert reclamation p...Was that a palm oil farm or a desert reclamation project or something? The palms are so close together. It's lovely, really. All your pictures are nice! I never see good photography of Israel. The Salt Sea is amazing. To think that big chunks of salt just form there, and people drink it! Crazy! I hope we can go one day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29122639.post-51433881562682147492011-05-19T08:58:54.757-05:002011-05-19T08:58:54.757-05:00I have four palm trees in the back yard and one in...I have four palm trees in the back yard and one in the front and they are messy and expensive to prune.

I mostly got blank looks. They sort of took it for granted that one could float in water.<br /><br />Thanks Marlene!<br /><br />That's funny Sarah!!!!<br /><br />No SJ! You've introduced me to a whole new term!!!!<br /><br />Thanks Ricardo! And I keep hearing that about getting out. But then I think, "But well...our cousins and all the other Israelis are still there". So then I just hope it mostly would have been the airport hassle they're talking about. Plus my friend's son is there now and my daughter goes back very soon.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10439582294571462742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29122639.post-34830381855999425182011-05-16T23:05:54.953-05:002011-05-16T23:05:54.953-05:00NICE STUFF!!
