Holiday in Haifa

Haifa was a great break for us, a holiday from our holiday. Some people we met in the Sinai invited us to stay with them in Haifa. Eran and Idit were unbelievably generous in letting us stay with them and their cat (whose Hebrew name we've forgotten :). They have a nice apartment way up in the hills of Haifa overlooking the Mediterranean. So we spent the weekend with them and their friends, Ilia, Anat, Leon, Rubi and Tanja, eating, drinking and going on roadtrips.

As everyone was either a lawyer or an engineer it was easy to slip into our almost forgotten former life as young professionals, including enjoying Sushi for the first time on the trip and cooking at a dinner party!

We also saw some great nearby sites. Haifa itself, grottoes on the Lebanese border, the ancient port of Akko, Nazareth of Jesus fame and the mountain where Jesus ascended to the heavens.

So many thanks to the Haifa crew, who are always welcome to visit us in Toronto!
