Weekend with the Perlbergs

This weekend I stayed with the Perlbergs in Zichron Yaakov.  Who are cousins on the Chodirker side of the family. Gil's mother grew up in Winnipeg, close to my Grandfather. 

I went to Zichron Yaakov by train and Leslie picked me up at the station.  After a rainy week, it was finally nice weather. I arrived at their house like a true Canadian, with maple syrup on hand. They loved receiving it. We had a nice Friday night dinner!

Saturday morning, we all woke up late. We had French toast and pancakes to put maple syrup on top of.

We went to the Bahai Gardens in Haifa, which I had never gone to before, but had heard how beautiful they are. The history about the Bahai religion and their up keep of the garden is fascinating.  Because the tour guide spoke Hebrew (extremely fast),  I got maybe a couple words in the whole time. Leslie and Gil translated the main idea of what he was saying though.  We climbed down 700 stairs, to the Bahai Gardens. The landscape was up kept so well. Once we got down we took a taxi back to the car.
