Cristen and I (kinda) have our weekend plans put together ... and we may have managed to salvage a pedicure! On Thursday we are going to Haifa to spend the afternoon there (we're taking a Sherut with a bunch of people and then getting off at the train station ... which also happens to be near the beach ...) so we are going to check that out and just walk a round Bat Galim for a while ... before taking bus 5, 16, or 28 to Grand Kanyon Mall, which is the largest mall in Israel, to see HP6 :) Then it's a sherut back the Kibbutz for a night of well deserved sleep!
On FRIDAY we are getting up and going to Nahariya for some MORE beach and lunch, renting a car, and then going to Akko to walk around, have dinner, and watch the sun set over the Mediterranean (:D)
On SATURDAY we are taking said rented car and driving through the Galilee to The Golan Heights to check out Tel Dan, Nimrod's Fortress, and Banias Falls (NOTE: Banias Falls is the source of the Jordan River. Jordan is derived from Yared-Dan "Down from Dan") (geography lesson: the border area between Israel, Syria, and Lebanon). It's supposed to be REALLY pretty and several people have said it has been the best part of their trip. The whole renting a car and driving around the Galilee and the Goland KINDA worries me a bit (nothing like taking a wrong turn and ending up at the Syrian border ... ) so we're hoping we can talk to some of the people on the trip who are a bit older and see if they are interested in joining us ... if not, as Bridgit said ... it will be an adventure!
On SUNDAY: It's back to work at Tel Kabri and then returning the rental car.
There will be PLENTY of pictures and stories from the weekend, I PROMISE! And the GOOD news is that it should be slightly cheaper since we don't have to pay for a hotel room (and we get more sleep on Saturday night ...)
