Though Henry and I do not wish to take advantage of our hosts hospitality its hard to turn down such an offer. Plus he happens to be an archeological buff and so his expertise and friendliness are an irresistible combination.The drive takes about two hours http://www.travelblog.org/Middle-East/Israel/North-District/Golan/blog-775886.html Gerade habe ich versucht in der Dusche das Wasser kalt zu stellen. Erfolglos. Handwarm ist die maximale Ausbeute die sich eine nach Erfrischung gierende Deutsche erhoffen kann. So schlimm wie anfangs gedacht ist die Hitze hier aber gar nicht. Tatschlich scheint so mancher meiner israelischen Freunde sogar mehr zu schwitzen als ich.

Actually it takes a stretch of the imagination to understand why it is called a sea until you understand that there is no Hebrew word for lake. This really a large lake that feeds the Jordan River. Our ship was a large wooden craft about 60 ft long and capable of carryi http://www.travelblog.org/Middle-East/Israel/North-District/Golan/blog-740777.html The next day we woke up super early and headed to a destination we were readily anticipating the Golan Heights and the UNDOF base. Our tour of the UNDOF base was led by Major Alexander Uttenwegger from Austria. Entering the base we had a chance to see some of the other soldiers that were stationed at the base from countries including the Philippines Japan and India. We went through a little b http://www.travelblog.org/Middle-East/Israel/North-District/Golan/blog-728750.html Woke up on the eastern shore of the Sea of Galilee and stepped out the door to partake in a humid sweatfilled run along the bike path and roads north of Ein Gev.

Our first stop this morning was church at Tabgha. This was the site where Jesus fed the five thousand. The church we entered was built on the original site. We have included a picture of mosiac and the rock Jesus laid the basket of fish and bread.Our second stop was at the national park Tel Dan. We hiked through an area similar to the Boundary Waters http://www.travelblog.org/Middle-East/Israel/North-District/Golan/blog-583500.html So this last weekend I headed to the north to experience some of great outdoors. Since I've been here at the university studying at the ulpan here I've had the amazing opportunity to meet fellow students like myself from all over the world. So on this adventure I teamed up with two ladies from Germany Anne Aleine one from Sweden Corrin and another from France Sara. I liked the odds I mus http://www.travelblog.org/Middle-East/Israel/North-District/Golan/blog-524145.html A roadtrip to the North includes The Golan Heights and The Kinerret Sea of Galillee.The weather was a little bad so instead of taking a hike in the Golan we decided to take a trip with the car up in the mountains and visit some known places around the Kinerret. It turned out to become a christian tour visiting the place Jesus was baptised and where he walked on water. First we stopped by a shop http://www.travelblog.org/Middle-East/Israel/North-District/Golan/blog-498124.html The first stop of Thursday was a nature reserve called Tel Dan. Tel Dan is actually a stream that comes from a massive spring and is a tributary of the Jordan River. We hiked through the forest seeing many interesting sites including an old temple and the Syrian border. The vegetation was very thick and we saw several lizards and a venomous snake. We then drove up to the Lebanese border seei http://www.travelblog.org/Middle-East/Israel/North-District/Golan/blog-453156.html Tuesday 915Today we started a bit late but set out for Jaffa and Tel Aviv about 10. Jaffa is an ancient port city on the coast on the southern side of Tel Aviv. It's history goes back 4000 years to the Egyptians. It is beautiful and old and preserved wonderfully. The artistic section is great for shopping and I bought some beautiful earrings handmade by an Israeli artist in the Yemenite st http://www.travelblog.org/Middle-East/Israel/North-District/Golan/blog-447347.html httpwww.travelujah.comblogsentryTastingyourwaythroughtheGolanHeightsIt is traditional to eat sweet foods during the Jewish high holiday season. Certain items are very prevalent throughout the country and show up on almost everyone's feast table at some point such as apples honey chocolate honey cake figs and other specialty items. As part of our celebration of the holiday season http://www.travelblog.org/Middle-East/Israel/North-District/Golan/blog-444504.html In my first weekend during the Ulpan we had a one day hike to the Golan Heights. The Golan Heights are situated in the north on the border to Syria. The description of the trip was as followed This is a typical Golan hike with gorges and waterfalls to swim under. The trail includes the Deborah and Gilabon falls a bat cave and ancient ruins. I didn't see a bat cave but the Gilabon falls were a http://www.travelblog.org/Middle-East/Israel/North-District/Golan/blog-434273.html This current adventure on which I have embarked is remarkably different from any of the travel I have endeavored upon in the past in one key way it's scope. In some ways I think more of this as the journey of an expat than a vacation or trip.

I am currently working on my final papers presentations and studying for exams. I just wanted to quickly and briefly update my blog and show everyone some pictures from the north of ISRAEL.
