I'm going to keep this short as we have been out of decent wi-fi access and very busy. Here are the highlights of day 7 of the trip:
- Shopping in the Old City of Jerusalem
- Drive north to Druze village near Mt. Carmel for lunch and explanation of Druze religion
- Drive to the northern port city Haifa, visiting the Kibbutz where Keren (our guide) spent her teenage years. Her parents still live there, and we took a short hike.
- Drive to Haifa to check into our hotel with a great view of the Mediterranean Sea
- Attend Yom Ha-Zikkaron (Israeli memorial day) ceremonies at Naval Training Base in Haifa
I will be doing mostly photoblogging from here on out, plus some videos. There are descriptions on the pictures in picasa if you want more detail, plus some subtitling in the videos.
