Friday morning's hike was to a small
mountain on a neighboring Kibbutz
Saturday night we invited the high school kids
from the Kibbutz for a barbecue at our house
Sunday night Art class
Tuesday we went to Zichron Yaacov for the day. Our first stop was Ramot Ha-Nadiv (Heights of the Benefactor), located at the southern end of Mount Carmel. Ramot Ha-Nadiv is a living memorial dedicated to the memory of Baron Edmond de Rothschild who had a consequential role in the establishment of the state of Israel; including many towns and agricultural settlements developed under his sponsorship.

| Beautiful view of the Mediterranean Sea. |
 |
| Apple break!! |
 |
| Ramot Ha-Nadiv contains some of the most beautiful gardens in Israel, including the Cascade Garden, Rose Garden, The Palm Garden and The Fragrance Garden...all meticulously nurtured. |
 |
| The Rothschild family motto appears below the shield in Latin...Concordia, Integritas, Industrias (Harmony, Integrity, Industry) |
The main street in Zichron Yaacov (Memorial of Jacob..
named after Baron's father) is considered by many to be the quaintest in all of Israel...with its cafes, craft shops, restaurants and beautiful homes. Zichron Yaacov was founded in 1882 and has the distinction as being one of the first agricultural towns to be developed in Israel in modern times.

| Beniamins Pool was inaugurated in 1891 when new technology was used to bring water through pipes to drinking fountains and to this beautiful pool in the center of Zichron Yaacov. |
