It's been a loooong day. Two hour drive to Raanana to visit Beit Issie Shapiro - a non-profit that assists individuals with disabilities. Then to visit one of the HMO-run primary care facilities.
Were happy that the sun was out......right up until we had lunch and were ready to try our hand at sightseeing again....that's right when the clouds rolled back in. Freakin' swell!
So we went off trudging in the mist to explore the northern city of Acco where the British built on top of Ottoman buildings that were built on top of Crusader fortresses that appear to have been built on even more ancient Roman ruins. So down and down and down we went (at least out of the rain).
Then back to the outskirts of Haifa to eat at a Druize house - never heard of them before and don't understand that much now. Key points: they have existed since creation (which only took one day, thank you), really surfaced in the 11th century when they rose up in protest in Eqypt about the unfair treatment of women (they profess sexual equality but women can't touch men-i.e. Shake hands) and they believe in reincarnation but only as human beings and only/always as the same sex every time.
So now we are our way to our new hotel at 8PM and have to be on the road at 7:30A which is why I won't likely be transferring, resizing and posting photos tonight. You'll just have to be patient and wait for your view of a Druize dinner party.
