Tel Aviv, Cat City & The Dancing Camels

Day 1 - Tel Aviv

We arrived in Tel Aviv, the most "modern" city with over 1 million people living in the modern, urban city. We checked into our hotel and then headed across the street to take a stroll on the shores of the Mediteranean Sea. We (Dan, Diane and me) stopped by "The Manta Ray" restaurant and enjoyed a cold "Dancing Camel" (local Israeli beer), warm Sangria with almonds and then cigars (Dan and me, definitely not Diane). We later had a dinner with the entire tour group, over 300 people from all over the US, and listened to Joel Rosenberg speak about the Geo Political environment in Israel. Then, off to bed. It was truly a turbulent start to our adventure in the Holy Land.

One interesting thing we noticed while walking along the beach here in Tel Aviv are the stray cats! Not just a few, but a bunch! Everywhere. Big, fat cats. We had one that sat under our table at the restaraunt?? Weird.

Day 2 - Caeserea, Meggido, Mount Carmel & Tiberias (Sea of Galilee)

Coming soon to a blog near you....Herod the Paranoid, Rocking in the Epicenter, 5,000 year old pagan ruins, why we dont want to cook a baby goat in it's mothers milk and a former Jewish Dr. of Theater worshipping Jesus with Arabs and Infadels on top of Mount Carmel (who says we are afraid of Hamas).
