Travel Tales: Day 6, Part 3: The Sea of Galilee

Thursday, September 8, 2011

After our adventure, we made our way through Galilee toward Daniella’s kibutz.

We stopped off for coffee in the middle of nowhere. I should’ve taken pictures of the little coffee shop and gas station where we stopped but I was in absolute  awe. Behind this place laid the Sea of Galilee beyond a thin veil of mist. The owner’s had a nice patio in the back where visitors can sip their beverages and eat pastries while they look out onto to the sea. Amazing!

There was also agriculture going on off to the left of this field.

After our little coffee break, we got back on the road.

By the time we got to the kibutz it was dark so I’ll share pics of that tomorrow. But below are pictures of what our room looked like.

Our friend Daniella, runs a bed and breakfast in her home. She has two other rooms she rents out to vacationers. We had a lovely view from our patio of the surrounding mountains. This particular kibutz sits in the valley surrounded by olive, avocado, and apple trees. I’ll have more pics for you all tomorrow.

Everyone have a happy day blogging, reading, and writing!

    Beautiful pics! We're all jealous!

    Strangely, though northern Israel features into my book, I never wrote anything along Galilee.

    I've always wanted to go to Galilee, how fun. :) And it looks like your room had a jetted tub.
