Tofino Food and Wine Festival 2009

The Tofino Food and Wine Festival began in 2003. It was an idea formed between two foodies who worked in the food and wine industry, at a restaurant set amidst the beautiful Tofino Botanical Gardens. Last weekend it celebrated its 7th annual, called "Grazing in the Gardens," and the weather gloriously cooperated.
This happy marriage of food and wine could not be celebrated in a more gorgeous setting as these lush gardens, amidst the fabulous driftwood sculptures and best of all - fun, friendly people enjoying themselves immensely. A place where "fresh" takes on a special poignancy, imbibing everything with its unique westcoast character. A pwp event that should not be missed.

Unique Theatre in Yaffo, Israel

Nalaga'at Theatre
A theatre in Yaffo in Israel that claims to be the only one of its kind in the world because all the actors and even the staff at the theatre and the theatre's restaurant (which is unlit and you have to order and eat in the dark) are fully or mostly blind and fully or mostly deaf. The theatre is called 'Nalaga'at' which is Hebrew for "please touch."
