Though we experienced so much more, here are a few of the high points from our travels.
Tel Aviv and Jaffa |
Golan Heights |
Sea of Galilee |
In Sea of Galilee area we toured an organic Olive grower and Olive Oil producer. The have developed a method of using the after process pulp to produce fine soap and hand cream products. This pulp is thrown out by every other producer, so this is a perfect solution to massive wastes and the products are luxurious!
Scouting around ruins in the area made us hungry for a seaside lunch!
Off to the Dead Sea area down the west bank...
Floating in the Dead Sea is more like 'bobbing'. It's fully saturated at 30% salt content.
Ein Gedi is a natural oasis on the shore of the Dead Sea that has been a life saving haven stop on dessert journeys for millennia. The kibbutz Ein Gedi is a botanical garden that displays over 1,000 plants from five continents, all situated throughout the living community. Impressive!
Ein Gedi used to have a hydroponic installation and boasts being the forerunners of aeroponics.
