"Nothing in the world is permanent, except change"

The title is a cite by J. Muir, we saw it today on a trail in Mt. Rainier National Park, Washington. We spent 2 days in this amazing park and personally I could stay there much longer (until it gets too cold). The king of the park is the 4,392m high volcano, Mt. Rainier but there's so much to see other than that. Usually the summit is covered by clouds but we were lucky to be able to see it clear with it's blue glaciers around.

In this time of year all the meadows were blooming with colorful flowers
and lots of water running down waterfalls
Here's a poem Aviv wrote in the park today:
A crown of mountain dance
around me
Protecting me from the dangers
outside
With comforting white snow
racing to the bottom
I feel breathless at such sights



We were very excited to find a sign in Hebrew
העברית לא משהו ...

אין לי מילים.
ולכם יש מזל לא נורמלי להיות בהרים ללא ערפל. ראיתי גם את מסלול הנסיעה. גם זו היתה חוויה נפלאה ודאי.
וכשליד כל זה המוזה של אביב פורחת, אז מה חסר. אני? מתחיל לטפל בתאריכי הנסיעה. וכשיהיה מה למסור..... תהיו בענינים כמובן.
נשיקות
אבא, סבא
