Moriah Gardens Tiberias

... thing that stayed the same was the wall made of small stones in the waiting area and the window that overlooked the base. I look outside the window and I remembered exactly what it used to look like. I remembered how the soldiers used to hang out by the flag, chatting away.<br>It made me kinda sad to see it like this. It made me feel so old to remember something so clearly, like it was yesterday, and to see it gone.<br>Avshalom said to me "It's every soldier's dream to see his army ...

... skewers on the grill. Typically there are 2 skewers for each order. <br>We made our way out of Biet Sh'en and on to Tiberius to check in to our hotel the Astoria. It was very confusing making our way up the hillside in Tiberius to find our hotel. There were periodic small blue signs that provided direction to hotels in the various regions of what appeared as a relatively dirty, trafficy, small city. We checked into our hotel the Astoria ...

... least, get the fire going and sit around and talk. We made burgers and as soon as the raw meat came out of the cooler, a swarm of flies showed up. It was ridiculous! There we so many flies... we called them Zombie Flies! The burgers were delicious. Travis and Mike are amazing cooks. After a country shower, I sat by the fire and talked to Alan for a bit. Then we mellowed out to some DMB and talked about family and life. Around midnight, however, it got weird ...

... es oft ein hoefliches "Do you speak English?", um mich in meiner Umgebung als Tourist zu outen und dem indirekt erwuenschten Militaerdienst zu entledigen. Waer wahrscheinlich eh nix fuer mich!<br><br>Donnerstag war dann ganz klar der beste Tag bisher in Israel, denn das gesamte Personal des Fauzis - 16 an der Zahl - ging von morgens bis in den spaeten Nachmittag hinein auf Betriebsausflug! Dabei war der ersten Teil noch relativ oede, auch wenn es mit den Ruinen ...

... Jesus was the Messiah. The place had a beautiful stream with little waterfalls -- gorgeous. These are the headstreams of the Jordan River, with water/snow draining off Mt. Hermon (by the way, there's even a ski resort at Mt Hermon -- what a surprise!). In Caesarea Philippi, there was also an old pagan worship site, including niches carved into the cliff, for "Pan and the Dancing Goats" (huh?). This old ...

... tone. For obvious reasons, though, you might say this occasion meant more to every one of us there, and not just the Israelis. At one point, a siren sounds throughout the country, and everybody everywhere stops what they are doing for the two minutes. Even cars stop on the road wherever they are, and the passengers get out. An unusual scence. During this break, I met up one last time with three current Air Force soldiers I had become friends with from salsa class in Rehovot. Every week ...

... in the dorm asking them to respond if they were interested in some kind of abroad trip. To the people who responded, I sent them another e-mail with a meeting time. Our timetables would likely all not be the same, nor our preferred destinations either, but by putting ourselves together in the same room, hopefully something would come of it. When my train broke down, I notified one of them, and when I finally arrived back to the dorm around 11 pm, they were ...

... us. Then we entered the church. I should mention that one woman in our party wore a tank top &amp; was asked to cover up. They didn't offer to lend her a wrap or anything, so she had to wait outside.The first floor seemed to be the everyday type of functional area, with confessionals and all. The second floor had a huge room with pews &amp; a huge mural behind where the services would be held. Along the sides more beautiful murals from around the world. After we left ...

... vegetables and spices), and we enjoyed the free Internet at our hostel. We planned on basing ourselves in Nazareth for daytrips to Akko and Tiberius. But we ended up with another hotel problem. After two nights at Azar, we transferred to the Sisters of Nazareth convent to save a little cash. They had been full the night we arrived but told us we didn't need a reservation because it was empty the next day. So we checked in the next day and that night ...

... The siren blows at sundown the evening before and once again at 11:00 A.M. on this date. All radio and television programs during this day are connected in one way or another with the Jewish destiny in World War II, including personal interviews with survivors. Even the musical programs are adapted to the atmosphere of Yom ...
