Israel Day 3 - Old Jaffa

Our days start early in Israel. No time for sleeping in and we go all day long. Day 3 started with a tour of Jaffa, the oldest city on the eastern Mediterranean shores, just south of Tel Aviv. We strolled through the port and the colorful alleyways. I also replaced my lost sunglasses with a new pair from the market in Jaffa. From Jaffa, you can view the shoreline of Tel Aviv. Our hotel is the large white hotel in the center of the group hotels.






After strolling and learning about the history of Jaffa, we boarded a bus to meet up with the HP event participants at a 650 acre nature preserve for a team building event. The nature preserve includes all the plants that are included in the bible. Poppies were in full bloom and beautiful. Our team building event started with a nice lunch in a forest of trees and then our small sub team worked on some different team building events including a ropes crossing event, an archery competition (Mom shot a bullseye for her team), and a sheep and goat herding exercise (we failed miserably). Fun event. Ron brought his guitar and red cooler for the bus ride back to the hotel. The evening ended with a nice dinner in Jaffa with HP.
