The next few days were spent in Eilat hanging out with Ami and a bunch of Lavi's friends. Yishai, Eyal and Avi took a great liking to Ari and served as wonderful buddies to him throughout the rest of the trip. It was surprising to me how wonderful Israeli men are with babies. All of them really enjoyed him. We spent our days laying around at the Dolphin Reef and eating toasts and Israeli breakfasts. We had a great barbecue with all the family at Yishai's temporary villa with the extraordinary view. And then back there again the next day to finish off the steaks which we couldn't eat the day before. Yishai even babysat for us so that we could get a night off and actually go out together on our trip. The last night we all went out to dinner to Ami's favorite restaurant - Pago Pago - and enjoyed a feast of fish. Ari satyed up through the whole dinner - I guess he realized if he nodded off then he would be missing out. Overall, it was relaxing to be by the sea and to be with friends, and it was energizing to be in the sun and just soak up the warmth and the goodness of Israel. It was hard for us to leave this time. It was such a short trip, but well worth it!
