We had quite a day today. We started out going to Rosh Pinot and Zefat. I knew Zefat
as Safed. It is a hill top city where Kabbalah has been studied throughout the ages.There is also an artists colony. Or the guidebook said there was one.. all we found was one art studio, David Friedman. Since he was originally from Colorodo he actually talked to us. We went in our finest \'sneeas\' fits and ditched them on the\
way down the hill because it was SO HOT! Sarah bought a few cards and I bought a melon..we could see syria, lebanon and Jordan..
Then we drove into Tiberias and the sea of Galilee.. we stopped for lunch in crazy
tiberias and had oh my gosh, falafel.. since I moved so slowly through the topping line a sweet Israeli woman just reached over me, grabbed what she wanted, etc.. as though I was invisible.. Israeil's are like that.. \i guess their parents were too busy fighting wars to teach their children ANY MANNERS at all. The day got better after lunch, we bought dates and candies and SHOES! Yes, fabulous shoes! Mine are\
white sandals with fab diamonds etc! Sarah bought some adorable white sandals..Okay there are absoultely no Vietnamese living in Israel so how am I suppossed to get my nails done? I mean if we don't find a nail shop soon I might have to do my own nails..ugh
After shopping we made our way to Hamat Gader. This was suppossed to be an alligator farm and there was also a Roman Spring. The guide books was KINDA vague about the road out. Once we passed the banana and date farms it was razor wire and
double fences because we were on the Jordan border. Just when we thought we were going to have to cross into Jordan the sign appeared and announced we had reached
Hamat Gader. What it actually was was a Zoo and a hot springs resort.Okay it was about 1100 degrees when we arrived and were greeted by AK47 toting guards with glocks
in their back pockets. Sarah and I did have another moment in the heat but it was
all good. She went first for the massage. I had mine after a hot swim in the hot pools..let me close with the only other massage I had like today's \i had in Morocco..lets just say I won't need a breast exam for awhile..We're back at Mannie's
and chillin we'll be heading to Jerusalem tomorrow and to pick up Marylin. Hopefully,
Sarah will help me post some photos later.
