This weeks update comes to you by way of pictures. The week of Chanukah brought us on a number of mini-adventures. The first was a hike down the Carmel mountain. One of the great things about Haifa is that the city is built on a mountain and at certain points you can just walk of the edge of the city and find yourself in a luscious green valley...
with some remnants of the city still to be found.
We swung on swings...
discovered some ruins...
and found a horse in a stone stable...
all without leaving the city limits of Haifa.
Our second adventure took us to the streets of Tel Aviv. The morning began with some sun-showers and a stunning rainbow.
After breakfast with one friend and lunch immediately after with another, we walked through the city back to train station. On the way we found ourselves in the "mannequin district"...
To be honest, I never really had such an appreciation for Tel Aviv in the past. However, through the guidance of a number of Tel Avivian friends, I am beginning to find the beauty in the small interesting things you can only find in this city.

The day in Tel Aviv ended with a train ride to the airport to meet my (Stef's) mom who arrived for a three week visit. We're looking forward to some more fun adventures while she's here!
HAPPY CHANUKAH!!!
