Israel 3


Israel has been in the news lately.  Not in a good way.  It appears that Prime Minister Netanyahu is about to be indicted.  Sigh.  

But it did give me a chance to think back once again on what was a magical trip.  

Haifa was shrouded in fog thanks to a light rain.  

But the beaches of Tel Aviv were bright enough for sunbathing a few days later.  

In addition to its Roman past, 

one can also find traces of the Crusaders in Acre, 

and a romantic castle on the top of a hill.  

We visited Nazareth - Edward took this shot of me there. 

And a spa where even when covered in mud, a soldier must remain armed.  

I did this sketch of Al Aqsa Mosque when we got home based on a photo I took during our visit.  We moved too fast for any sketching on site.

Two other Israel blogs...



Cheers!
