One thing I forgot about yesterday....long day. Our first stop for the day, was Jaffa. Part of modern TelAviv (which is celebrating it's 100th birthday), Jaffa was once solely an Arab town, but has diversified. It was a major port for many years, due to easy access in and out of it's small harbor. Now it has some tourist boats, some fishing draggers, and in the 20th c. became a haven for artists. Sounds familiar? Our room in Haifa last night has an incredible view from our aerie on top of Mount Carmel. Guys singing loudly all night, however, forced us to close the balcony door. Shucks. Off to breakfast and then the Golan Heights.....words I never thought I'd say in the same sentence.
