Havot Moscato

In three words:
Farm on time

In 337 words:
You know those settlements that you always pass by on your way to somewhere without even knowing they exist? Places that, if you don't happen to have a grandmother/aunt/ex who lives there, there is no chance you will see them from the inside? This is the story I had with the bee-shaped Moshav. Then I discovered Muscat.

At the edge of the moshav, which is right behind Kfar-Tavor, I reach a large brown gate. There is something dramatic about these gates, which are lifted like a lot over a work of art or a screen over a stage. And the stage revealed here does not disappoint. Oh well, it's not surprising considering the fact that Amit, the host, is a director by profession and understands something about composition.

For the setting, she took care of a horse farm that offers couple rides as part of the hospitality and fields the size of a block of Dan. For the main role she cast her and her husband Tomer - one of those types that make us, the men, feel a little uncomfortable with ourselves: he looks good, he rides horses and he built this whole place with his hands (speaking of hands, beware of his handshake...). Unfortunately for you and our happiness, it is also occupied.

Amit leads behind the scenes of her production along a wooden path that is engulfed in vegetation. In the thicket awaits an impressive cabin (yes, yes snooze, Tomer built it) with a wooden floor, a jacuzzi and everything you expect to find in such a place.

Get a fix - you can't predict what's waiting in the fridge. It turns out that Tomer and Amit have a daughter who happens to be a confectioner who went through the prestigious places in Tel Aviv and specialized in France, just to fill your fridge with bee-like surprises that are a shame to eat because they are beautiful. Indeed, life is hard...

Outside the cabin there is a beautiful garden, completely private, in the center of which is an indoor jacuzzi spa. 'There are two more huts like this,' says Amit, and I try to figure out where they are hiding. After finding them I am convinced that this is it, but Amit leads around the bend in the path and...wow! What is this pool?!? In "Dak" a huge tree surrounded by vegetation built a pool that if I hadn't seen it I would have been sure it was just a good photoshop job. 'We don't have breakfast in the cabin' Amit says, but it suddenly seems really unimportant to me....

Before I say goodbye, I try to offer myself as a saddle bearer, stable cleaner, or anything else that will keep me here a little longer, but the gate is already closing behind me. The screen goes down. Applause. What about the encore???
