    Default Israel: The Sea of Galilee and the Southern Edge of the Golan

    Well, it's only taken me a month, but I finally pulled out the camera for a weekend trip to the Kineret (the Sea of Galilee). I had a blast and I think some of the pictures came out pretty well. Unfortunately, it's like a million degrees out here, which causes a hazy fog of evaporating water to settle over the Kineret and the lower Golan. It made for some frustrating picture taking, but I think a little tweaking fixed it. Well, hope you guys enjoy (oh, and I miss you all!):




    I found this extremely ironic. Half of lower Golan (all the way down onto the shoreline) from the Syrian side is off-limits because of the mines left behind by Syria AFTER the war. Still, the people have learned to live with it... the beach just to the right of this picture was full of swimmers, and the roads run in between uncleared fields. Eran told me that cattle periodically fall victim to landmines, but children haven't been hurt.


    I don't know which was more heartbreaking: the fact that this beautiful countryside is riddled with minefields, or that the hillsides have fallen victim to fires.


    This was the view of the valley from the hills of Galilee. Beautiful. The Kineret is to the left.


    Here, decommissioned merkava tanks serve as reminders of the sacrifices made to protect the Golan.


    A little touch of irony, don't you think?



    My boy Eran.. He took me all over the place so I could take pictures. I think I'm in love! No... I know I am!


    Proof I was there!

    Nope... I don't think GSU likes Jews. I had to find this program independently, and GSU is "being gracious enough" to "do me the favor" of allowing the credits I complete here to count as transfer credits.

    I should be home sometime next July or August.

    I'll tell you what. If you guys could actually make it out here, we'd have a blast. The women (and men) are gorgeous, the food is awesome, and the beaches are perfect!
