Israel: Jutka Harstein and Kibbutz Harduf

 

Jutka Harstein says that I was the first journalist, who wrote about her restaurant in Kibbutz Harduf. May be. It was in far 1994... But I know exactly: Jutka was the first and only person, who was agreed to promote my first visit to Harduf. Other people, to whom I addressed a request for an interview, refused me.  "There is closed society, - claimed one of them. - We chose a simple life. Your article would have to destroy our silence."  Twenty years ago I had a slim chance to get acquainted  this Kibbutz if not Jutka. In this far time she just began her business - the vegetarian organic restaurant.

My visit to Holland: Utrecht



At the beginning of  August I had an amazing trip! I visited Holland! I stayed for several days in Utrecht and enjoyed seeing the very nice city. I had short  trips to Amsterdam, to Efteling and to Kroller-Muller Museum. And I had an exciting bicycle ride in the park nearby the Museum.  I am going to share my experience with you .
