Tracking Ibex Part 1

I recently had a rare opportunity to track an Ibex in the wild. I’m thankful that my students from Boston Baptist College were patient while I stalked this big fellow.

I was surprised at how close I was able to get to him given how nimble these things are in the rocks and how much they dislike human company.

I got a few more good shots of him, and I’ll probably post them as a series.

Space Alien Vegetables

Other than it’s name and price, I know nothing about this vegetable. It surely looks like an alien to me. It’s name is colorabee and it costs 4 shekels per kilo (about $1.00 for 2.2 lbs).


Eggs

This is how we buy eggs at the market: crates of 30. This crate costs 22 shekels, which at today’s exchange rate equals 17 1/2 cents per egg, or $2.10 per dozen. However, these are not government inspected eggs, which cost $2.50 per dozen.
