... br>So now it's back to working at the kitchen.. It's getting colder here as well, and I even got a cold! I'm still enjoying Bar'am, but I'm also considering going somewhere else. I feel like I need to experience more of Israel, not just this small inaccessible place. But for now I'm still here. Still meeting new people every day (which gets quite exhausting), still enjoying the morning sunrise over the mountains.<br>Hope you guys enjoy the pictures and videos!<br><br><br>

... non-Bahai can only come in one gate, and can only come in if escorted. They can only walk down the steps from top to bottom. Then, as you pass it, something called the Universal House of Justice is pointed out to you, before you are told that you cannot, actually, enter this building. Unless you are Baha'i. Same with the archives and administrative centers. And the temple itself, for that matter. And the lower parts of the gardens, though that is ...

... vom Hostel rauf, doch die verkehrt nur tagsueber, was einen also dazu zwingt, zu Fuss hochzulatschen, wenn man den Sonnenaufgang von oben sehen will. Das tolle am Wetter am Toten Meer ist nun, dass die Temperaturen nicht wie sonst in der Wueste ueblich nachts recht dramatisch fallen, sondern wie im guten alten Afrika quasi gleich bleiben. Wir hatten an dem Morgen jetzt kein Thermometer zur Hand, aber der Wetterbericht in der Zeitung fuer diesen Tag sprach von ...

... being there in the presence of 'emptiness.' I could not bear it. I left and wated for mum, Borik and Deda in the car. We drove through Tiberias (Tveria) towards Kibutz Naveur. Turned out Tiberias is known as the Holy place where Christenings tok place, but we were unabe to find the exact location, so we drove around, yelled a lot, and never stepped ouf othe car. It was fun seeing a busy touristie site but I didn't think it was too special. The buldings were all old, half built ...

... Then outside they have a submarine you can enter and a ship. The kids loved it. Morris even agreed to take pictures! We crossed the street to Eliyahu's cave (the prophet from the bible) and prayed for the kids, health and prosperity. Then we visited Tal's grandmother, who made us potato latkes, as her excuse for having us come visit her. She was very sweet. Then we went to the beach, to a different section than last time. In the water there was a section with tons of ...

... cup, and the coffee is strong and delicious. One must take care, however, with this kind not to drink down to the very bottom of the cup, or the result is a mouthful of coffee sludge, which is quite unpleasant and remarkably difficult to entirely clear from one's mouth (someone told me about this you understand, I don't know from personal experience...). This mistake is not normally made more than once. We drink the tap water, which I feared at first might cause a ...

... to know where we came from and our names. It was fun chatting with them! Our Israeli guide, Amir, is amazing. He is so passionate about the history of Israel and is so interesting to listen to. By the way, he said Amir in hebrew means "uppermost branch of a tree". I thought we could pass that along to our little Amir! We also went to Herod Spring where Gideon chose his ...

... of human occupation in the Levant. <br> The earliest deposits contain large amounts of sea sand. This, and pollen traces found, suggest a relatively warm climate. The melting glaciers which covered large parts of the globe caused the sea level to rise and the Mediterranean coastline to recede. The Coastal Plain was narrower than it is today, and was covered with savannah vegetation. The cave dwellers used handaxes of flint or limestone for killing animals (gazelle ...

... built upon was originally a deserted Phoenician port called Strabo's Tower, of which some ruins exist. After King Herod acquired it, Caesarea became the capital of Judaea. After 6 BCE, when the country had become a Roman province, Roman prefects, or procurators kept the government seat here. One of these governors, the cruel Felix, kept Paul imprisoned in Caesarea for two years, upon charges of heresy, until he was sent to trial in Rome.<br> <br> Herod, builder of Caesarea<br ...
