Rosh Hanikra, Acre, and Mt Carmel

We started the day with a trip North to where Israel borders with Lebanon to visit the chalk cliffs at Rosh Hanrika. These cliffs have been traveled by Moses, the crusaders, the Turks, the British and many more. We walked through a grotto with beautiful views of the colors of the Mediterranean Sea. This was a pleasant surprise start to the day.

We then traveled to Acre to visit the Crusader city. We saw beautiful halls and courtyards built in the 1200s. We visited a Muslim mosque and were surprised to learn Muslim men are allowed four wives.

This evening we traveled to the Carmel winery to learn about Israeli Kosher wines. Following our visit to the winery we had dinner in a Drooze village. The Drooze religion is another new one we have discovered on this trip. Margie and I both are so happy we are getting to see the full spectrum of Israeli culture and not just the Christian point of view. We are excited that tomorrow is a "Jesus day" though. Here is your teaser for tomorrow...Canna, Caperneum, and the Mount of Beatitudes are on the agenda.
