We woke up this morning in Tel Aviv and ate breads, bad cereal, and coffee/tea before loading into our van and beginning our drive to Haifa. Our first stop along the way was in Jaffa, a historic part of town from which the city of Tel Aviv sprouted from the original 66 homes. We were able to see Saint Peter’s Church where a service was being held. We visited Simon the Tanner’s House which is mentioned in the Bible and saw the ancient port where we found some gelato and coffee. I chose mascarpone and strawberry flavored gelato. We walked back up the hill to view the old clock tower and then reunited with our van.
We made our way to a Druze town where we were hosted for lunch by Elaina and Tahsin. We had pita, hummus, rice, chicken, and Harissa which is a cake. We got to see their property on Mount Carmel and Alastair dipped his toes in their pool. We continued on to Haifa where we visited the Baha’i Gardens before getting to our hotel.
We had some downtime and then we went out with our group to a restaurant named Take It Iza. We had really yummy foods, laughed a lot, and then we found more gelato. This time, mom and I shared some salted caramel.
