Monday, we decided to go up north... again... We wound up in a town called Kiryat Shmona. Look it up. You'll see how close we were to Lebanon. :) We met a nice guy who spoke English... he said "see, past those buildings over there? That's Lebanon..."
Woops!
The best part about this all, and I can't believe I haven't written this yet, is that we were on a bus FULL of Israeli soldiers! I'm not kidding when I say full... we had to stand for a large majority of the time... yeah. Interesting.
So, we decided to make the most of our long journey and go see the Jordan River! :) We wound up at Israeli Hippie-ville... I loved it. :) It was some Thai village, but enough people spoke English that we were ok. :) We were able to see where the Jordan River meets the Dan River. :)
We continued down the path to Lebanon... and found the Banias Falls!
We thought about playing in the water... but only got up to our ankles...
We decided to head back, only to learn that if we wanted to call a taxi we needed to speak either Hebrew or Spanish with a thick Hebrew accent. Since I'm not fluent in either of these, we had an enjoyable time hitchhiking in a big truck and then finding a taxi on a random street.... here's us, mid-experience! :) Interesting note: Behind us is what is called a Kibbutz (said Ki-boots) which is practically Zion. They are found all over Israel!
For the record, we survived... ;)
