Wow -what a day! Today while travelling from Jerusalem to Haifa we passed through sn agricultural area - quite different for the desert area of yesterday. We saw vineyards, avocados, figs, almond, orange and grapefruit trees. There were several banana plantations, some covered over with nets and some not. The bananas were covered with blue plastic bags hanging from the trees. the cotton has just been picked (by machines) and hug bales are waiting in the fields to be picked up. We saw storks and egrets on their migratory route.
We enjoyed seeing a variety of trees - cyprus, eucalyptusm palm, cedars of Lebanon and pine. The beautiful flowering trees abnd shrubs add beauty to landscape - whtie,pink and oragne bouganvilla are everywhere. Flowering rosemary, jacaranda abd oliander add a purple abd white hue. Today was feast for the eyes!
We visited Caesarea, Haifi with the Persian Gardens, Megiddo, Nazareth and Cana where we renewed wedding vows. On to our 5 star hotel in Tiberius.
Another awesome day!
Thank you for taking the time to write about your adventures, inspirations and magnificent sights after a packed day of travelling/walking. The writing is like a 3-D movie, one is transformed there with you!!! You were thought about too on Thanksgiving Day as we enjoyed turkey dinner on the deck in 80 degree F, or 26.6 C, weather. Hugs from Canada!!!! Evelyn
