| Long layover in Newark |
The first day + on the trip to Israel. It's a long flight to Tel Aviv through Newark (with a seven hour layover) which took about 24 hours overnight. We arrived about 4pm and met our guide after almost an hour getting through immigration and getting our luggage. We got on the bus, and drove through rush hour traffic to Netanya. Our hotel overlooks the Mediterranean Sea and we can hear the surf from our room.

| A dip in the Mediterranean |
After dinner, a typical middle eastern buffet, we took a walk with a couple others from the tour. We walked down to the beach and got our feet wet in the Mediterranean. We then walked to a business area and stopped at an Israeli-Italian-French restaurant for a bottle of local wine. It was from the Golan area and I think a Cabernet--not that we could read the label in Hebrew. It was a good one.
We then walked back to the hotel where a couple people were out yet. Now it's time for bed after skipping last night. OK, we slept a little on the plane, but . . . We need to be rested for Caesarea, Nazareth and other Galilee Points.
