Mini Israel





Ken and I thought we would be adventurous this weekend and walk through all of Israel. We started in Haifa and moved North to Acco and then to the Lebanon border. Then East passed Mt. Hermon and into the Golan. We headed South through the Upper and then Lower Galilee. Jerusalem was quite entertaining especially since we were just there and all the sites were fresh in our mind. We wandered south through the Judean Desert, Masada and the Dead Sea. Further South was the Negev and Eliat. Our final stretch was through Tel Aviv and Caesarea. Quite a day! And to think we could walk all of that in less than 3 hours!

A visitor center half way between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem has miniature models that highlight all of Israel so you can literally walk the through the country. It was pretty interesting and we found a few sites that we have not yet seen. Some of the models were interactive and had moving trains, cars or planes. I'll try and post some pictures tonight.
