My mother is visiting from the US and over the weekend we spent one night in Amirim -- a vegetarian village near the Sea of Galilee (aka Lake Kinneret). It was really lovely, peaceful (hooray!) and relaxing. We stayed at the Campbell's -- they have two units with a double bed, kitchen table, kitchenette, bathroom with jacuzzi, and patio with views of the hills of the Galilee.
We had dinner at Dalia's -- a vegetarian restaurant with a set menu -- more food than you can possibly eat and all sorts of delicious, inventive vegetarian food for $25/person. Dalia served us dessert on their veranda with amazing views of the Galilee. As night fell, we could see all the lights of various towns and villages twinkling in the distance. Very relaxing.
For breakfast, we wandered down to a healthy bread shop and got an assortment of goodies that all were scrumptious. We ate on the patio and Alit, the owner of the zimmer (the word for B&B-type places in Israel), brought us a plate of banana in soft squishy persimmon. Delicious!
The next day, we ventured into Nazareth, aiming to show Mom the Church of the Annunciation and St. Joseph's. Proved a bit of a driving adventure....stay tuned for more...
