The last three days (Friday, Saturday and Today) we were in Tiberias. We didn't see too much outside the hotel because we were visiting with Adams Family. Friday We Drove from Modi'in towards the north. The more north we got the more green the land became and the hills became larger. In the Jerusalem area there are walls, gates, and checkpoint everywhere separating the Arab towns from the Jewish areas. The more north we got the less separated it seemed. In the north the only way I could tell if a town was a Arab town was if there was a muslim mosque in the town. It was so strange for me, in Jerusalem, to see everything so separate. And it was nice to see that somewhere in the country things are a little more relaxed. When we approached Tiberias you could see the town on the side of a large hill overlooking the kinneret, or also known as the sea of gallali (its actually a large lake). The Kinneret is Israels ONLY source of fresh watter, and its so small! Its a major problem here, conserving water is a big concern. On all the toilets you have 2 flushers, one is for a small flush, the other is for a large flush. The Kinneret is shrinking at a rapid pace. Its so weird to see where the line of it used to be just recentlly.
We met Adams Grandparents at a hotel on the lake. We also met Adams aunt and uncle who are world famous doctors. One is a chiropractor and the other is an acupuncturist. Adam has had some back problems and they did some things on him, including some acupuncture and he says he feels amazingly better, his back does not bother him anymore. That evening we had a nice dinner overlooking the Kinneret, Followed by dancing. The next day we had breakfast and Adam's aunt and uncle left for Tel-Aviv. Adams Grandparents, Adam, and I all stayed for another day and night. We went swimming in the kinneret, relaxed in the sauna, jacuzzi and steam room and then had relaxing massages at the spa. All the meals were buffet style and really good and fresh food. We ate so much all day, I'm surprised I could even move. That evening we went for a walk on the promenade in tiberrias. It was the same as the promenade in Eilat, a bunch of shops and cafes open late at night and a lot of people walking around. I bought some Israeli music, and then we went back to the hotel to sleep. This morning we dropped Adam's grandparents off at their home and then came back to Adam's home.
And that was our weekend.... Please always check previous blogs that haven't had any pictures because somtimes I post the pictures after I post the blog... And thank you for reading!!!
