December 2020
Eilat has been declared a Covid-safe "island" and entry to the city is only permitted to people who have tested negative for the virus. So we queued up and did our tests within the required 72 hours and after receiving "negative" results drove to Eilat, and were of course delighted to be able to spend a weekend with the Eilat Levys. We had brought some fresh pecan nuts from Ruti and Dani Erez's trees and Ilay helped us crack open the shells and separate the nuts as we talked and enjoyed quality time.
