Friday, July 16

It has been a beautiful day in Haifa.  We started the day with a late buffet breakfast which comes with our room.  It was so good - omelets made to order, all kinds of fresh fruits, dates, breads,cheeses, waffles,yogurt and all kinds of salad veggies and raw fish. 

We then walked to the mall which is over a mile away.  This really was Scottys idea.  We looked all over the 3 story mall.  It had a grocery store so bought a few items there and had a McDonalds ice cream cone before we left.

We walked down to a bus stop.  For 6.20 shekel (less than $2) you can ride the city bus for 1.5 hr so we rode around the city for a while and then back to our hotel.  We went down to the beach and enjoyed some time in the Mediterrean Sea.  We had seen it many times but this was our first time to swim in the beautiful Sea.  We actually watched the sunset over the Sea from our room where we enjoyed our pita bread, banana and peanut butter dinner.

We plan to attend church tomorrow with the Bridgers.  I think it is a Messianic Jewish congregation (Hebrew speaking).  There are not any English speaking churches.  We look forward to worshipping with other believers here.

Shalom
