We started out driving for a while on the frozen river (which had quite a few signposts, separate traffic lanes etc - not your standard river!), and then through the woods. It's all very peaceful - not an animal or bird to be seen - I guess they are all hibernating or have migrated to warmer places. Driving is quite easy and you get the hang or it after 5 minutes. Nonetheless it is more strenuous than I expected and quite a workout for the arms and hands. We took turns driving and when it was very bumpy the passenger also got a workout by hanging on for dear life.
We stopped on a lake and tried our hands at ice fishing. Drilling the holes was fun, but the fish did not cooperate. Nonetheless we had an excellent salmon-potato soup in an "authentic" Kuta (log cabin) served by a girl in peasant clothes.
Then we drove back and arrived around 5 to the hotel. Fun as it was, 5 hours on a snowmobile are quite tiring and everybody seemd happy to get back.
Dinner in a few minutes - the Israeli ambassador is coming for a shabbat dinner with us. Yay!
Tomorrow we split up - Keren is going skiing and I am going on a hike to frozen falls. The poor pediatricians will have some talks in the afternoon...

I am very pleased that I get all your adventures quite fresh. Keep up the good deed!
Arnon and Assaf have gone to watch a tennis game, so we'll eat at the Regevs sometime late at night.
Have a nice dinner and Shabbat Shalom.
Love,Ima.
