Day 6 ... Acre, Haifa, Caesarea and Tel Aviv

Today is our last full day in Israel. We checked out of our lovely kibbutz just before 8. 00 and drove to Acre and heard the history of the Turks & crusaders in the area.   We walked around soaking up the local atmosphere.  Then we drove to Haifa and saw the Bahai Gardens - beautifully groomed.  We didn't tour - just an overview.   Our guide was patient while we took photos.  I saw a couple from my Jericho tour which was nice.   Then we drove to Caesarea Maritima and we walked around there slowly hearing again the history, seeing a movie of the area and its development over the centuries.  A lady from Porto Rico chatted to me in broken English which was sweet. Then we had lunch at a nice little restaurant that was quite inexpensive with humongous serves of food,  impressive. We drove to Tel Aviv via a quick look at the aqueduct and hearing a bit more of the history.

There was a mix up  at the hotel about rooms but eventually we got settled the 5 of us are staying in the same hotel.  We are on different floors but it's okay and now we are relaxing for a while.   shalom
