Today we visited the quant little artist colony of a town named Zichron Ya'acov. From one part of town there are amazing ocean vistas and from the other, a grand view of the vineyards of central Israel. We spent a lovely afternoon strolling and learning about Zichron's history. We stumbled upon a handmade paper gallery and will be back on Thursday for a hands on lesson in the art of paper making. Something that the kids and I look very much forward to. In the interim, Adam had another vanilla cone, in his quest to taste ice-cream in every town in Israel!We also spent a few hours at sea-side cafe with my Uncle Raphy (one of my mom's younger brothers), and his wife Sylvia. The kids were able to splash and play in the surf as we caught up on each other's lives.
