Jaffa and Caesarea

Margie and I began the day with a walk along the Mediterranean Sea before breakfast. Breakfast resembled the gourmet Mediterranean version of a MS casino buffet minus the dings of slot machines and smoke smell.

We then went to the Carmel market to take in the fresh veggies and fruit. We followed that journey with a visit to Jaffa where the prophet Jonah begin his journey.

We left Tel Aviv and made it to Ceaserea to tour the ruins there and have lunch by the sea. It was an amazingly beautiful day spent on the Mediterranean.

We made it to Haifa around sunset. We viewed the Baha'i Gardens. The Baha'i are a new religion with a mosque in Haifa and incredible gardens surrounding it.

Margie and I enjoyed Israeli wine at a restaurant overlooking the sea prior to another amazing buffet of Israeli meats, fish, cheese, breads, and desserts. We are going to have to start running around some of these towns to burn all the calories!!
