Life's a beach... at Nahariya

Tuesday we took a little day trip to the beach. Something so soothing and calming about the sound of the sea. The color of the water was amazing. Love this place!

Fluffy clouds over Ma'alot on the way to Nahariya. The bus is really cheap going out there.

The Mediterranean Sea. Yup, an hour away and these blue waters await.

It was a lovely afternoon.

I didn't get pictures of them, but we saw multiple tiny crabs and a few hand sized ones. Looked like maybe the tiny ones recently hatched.

Love the sea.

Tide was very high on Tuesday. But look at those colors!!

Lovely Day in Northern Israel

MHad to go to the consular services in Haifa again. Dropped off a sample from our lab to the Rambam Hospital, and then I took the train all the way north to Nahariya. The bus ride from there back to Tsfat is cheaper and less painful than the bus ride from Akko. Plus I got to go to the beach for a few minutes to take pictures!



Behind the Rambam Hospital is a beach called "Quiet Beach". It's in the middle of a heavily industrial port, but it is quiet otherwise.

It was already hot in Haifa, and I don't know the city well. So I got back on the train and went north to Nahariya.  A far more beautiful town....

My favorite cafe, used to be you could see the surf from there, but now the boardwalk is a bit built up. Still, a nice place for a breakfast on the beach.

Then a nice bus ride home. Views of the green hills, and Mount Meron where the Lag BaOmer celebrations will be next week. The town sprawling on the hillside is Tsfat viewed from Meron.

Day trip from Tsfat to Nahariya

I love Nahariya. It's an easy drive from Tsfat, and the sea air is a welcome change from the hills on occasion.
