I am going to Israel in December, and will have like four days to go around. I will be going with a 7 month pregnant woman and so will not want to be too active.

Does anyone have anything interesting for us to do in the Galil area, like the Kinneret, Sefad etc?

looking for ideas.

(Also keep the temperature in mind)

Thanks

Rent a car and drive around the Golan. Although weather may be nasty-ish and very windy. There is a bunch of interestign stuff to see there like Katzrin excavations:

http://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA/History/Early%20History%20-%20Archaeology/Katzrin%20-%20A%20Village%20in%20the%20Golan

Then there is the war museum from 1973, forgot what it is called, Oak can help probably. I found it to be interesting.

And in general, Golan is a beautiful area, and close to Galil.

Also, on the north coast, Akko is pretty cool, I thought. And if there, you can go to Rosh Hanikra, which has beautiful scenery and an apparently decent cave tour which I didn't go on.

These aren't precisely in Galil, but close enough.

If you do rent a car, drive very defensively. Israeli drivers are insane.

Katzrin:

Rosh Hanikra:

Akko:

(at least looks like it)

Is she going to give birth over there? Have you checked into the policy of flying in the third trimester?

No we are only going to be there for a week. And I called the airline, they said less than 8 months is not a problem, after that you need a doctor's note.

Neat stuff, I hope I get to see it one day. I would definitely like to get to visit Jerusalem.

What makes you think he will?

I would guess that he would lay his life down before he committed child molestation. Again, sexual immorality is one thing a Jew can't do, in fact, he must give his life up before he does.

Don't bother Israel, you shouldn't answer a fool in his folly, but that you for defending my honor. :)

Haifa. I only happen to have vast knowledge about fast-food places in Safed :lol:
Haifa is a beautiful city in my opinion, but I wouldn't call it much of a tourist attraction.

Anyhow, here's a nice picture of the Bahaii Gardens, the German Colony and the sea port:

Same area when looking up:
