Pizza Making, Rosh Hanikra with the Dwek family and Acre

Saturday night Kenny brought over his
portable pizza oven and we all got to make
our own personal pies.




That's not a bowling ball....
that's a pomelo!!

arrving on Kibbutz to visit with Max......and
 to travel with us to Rosh Hanikra.



Rosh Hanikra


   Yes..... we were that close to Lebanon. In fact,
the border was about 100 yards to our left.

Cable car to take us to the grattoe's.


The beautiful grottoes at Rosh Hanikra resulted
from an ongoing geological process over thousands of
 years.  It all began with a series of underground shocks
 that ripped gapes into the bedrock.  Rainwater
penetrated and dissolved the bedrock forming tunnels
and sea caves (grottoes)







 Acre (Hebrew)  Akko (Arabic)

Acre is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities
in Israel.  The walls of the city, its fortresses and citadels,
 its churches and mosques and its many other buildings
within its boundries, tell the history of the many rulers
who governed it and fought for it, who built the city and
 who glorified it.




In Acre, you can see the "fingerprints" of many peoples
 and religious movements such as the Canaanites, the
 Greeks, the Romans, the Byzantines, the Crusaders,
 the Mamelukes, the Turks and the British.  Today Acre has a Jewish population close to 50,000.
