Photos, Day 12 through 15

Day 12: Thursday, August 14, The Northern Galilee, emerging from the Jilaboun Waterfall hike. Jeff had the digital camera but went on a different excursion with Raya of The Broken Toe and Matthew of The Tired From Hiking, while Max and I did this very fun and slightly difficult tiyul. It was outstanding, with many highlights although Sarah, one of our tripmates, and I did restrain ourselves from flashing the Orthodox men who scurried out of the water once it was obvious we were going to be wading in - in bathing suits.


Day 13: Friday, rafting (which they called kayaking) in the Galilee on the Jordan River. I have no pictures of this excursion but hopefully tripmates will post some that can be shared, but here's information about Kibbutz Kfar Blum and their operations, which we used. As a preview, sadly, in case no one has ever told you, the "Mighty Jordan" requires you to have a broad concept of what "mighty" might look like (think small, like mouse). (the picture below is not from our trip but yeah, you've seen one group go over a little fall and you've seen us all)


Day 14: Saturday, August 16, at the Ruth Rimonim hotel, Simply Tsfat perform a private concert for our group in one of the courtyards at the hotel. It was tremendous fun.


Day 15: Sunday, August 17, dinner in Caesaria before we leave the country.

Hope this whets your desire for more and hopefully I can be a bad Jew tomorrow and write, write, write and label, label, label photos for albums online etc. If you're interested in seeing the albums I'm assembling, e-mail me for an invite.
