lev and ice cream at the crater
Originally uploaded by nostalgist
This worlds-end town has a long promenade on the crater, and a single bar/cafe with outdoor tables and really excellent cappucino which is an absolute prerequisite for fully enjoying the view. Or, in Lev's case, ice cream. In this picture he's already split his lip at the hostel but hasn't yet split his chin in the byzantine wine cave.
Apparently, Mitzpe Ramon was founded when the government dumped a group of Moroccan immigrants in the middle of the desert and told them they were an hour and a half from Tel-Aviv (ummm - two and a half hours, and that's without traffic). The setting is unreal and beautiful but the town is a little sad and run-down, and the major presence is an army base that fills the two restaurants (pizza and falafel/shwarma) with a steady stream of customers. And the ibex, who have no fear.
