Weekend up North

I was invited on a trip up north, so only a few hours after returning from the Golan, I woke up, and headed to Rehovot to pick up a rental car. Our first stop: the aquaducts, pictured below, near Cesaeria.

Then, it was off to Zichron Ya'akov, which was unfortunately closing for shabbat. Still, we enjoyed exploring little village and took a nice walk out to the Baron von Rothschild's grave, which was closed, but beautiful from what we could see.

One of the rooms had a red "mood" light over the bed. We were joking how someone probably requested it - so this morning, I asked Zipi, the owner about it. People always request random things she told us, like the red light. Somebody wanted it!

At the most north western part of Israel, only a stone's throw from Lebanon, we went to see the Grotto's. In order to get there we had to take the shortest and steepest cable car in the world. Israel is a small country, full of superlatives.

Look at the beautiful water in the Grotto!
