Thursday we took a road trip to the oldest city here in Israel-- Jaffa. It has been inhabited for over 4,000 years and boast some very interesting history.
We went with some good friends, Anne, Nathan, Zoe and Myles. This was their last trip before heading back to Germany and we wanted to make sure they had a good time to remember fondly.
Anabelle and Zoe are great friends and get along amazingly well.
From one of the scenic stops you can see the rocks upon which Andromeda was chained as a sacrifice to Cetus (the sea monster, which goes "arghh,arghh, arghh" says Anabelle).
This is also where Simon the Tanner, known for the miracle of the mountain, lived. Anabelle wanted to stop by and say "hi," but they were closed for lunch.
The city itself is very beautiful and has that old-world feel to it; and the view from the port area is fantastic. You get a great view of Tel Aviv in the background. It was about 75 degrees Fahrenheit with a breeze.
Since it was so nice and Zoe and Myles had never been to the beach, we spent some quality time playing at the beach. Myles was not feeling too well, but the girls had a blast and did not want to leave.
