| Humous Chef |
We spent the majority of today at Kibbutz Hasolelim. The kids enjoyed the kibbutz swimming pool and Gabe got to spend a good amount of time catching up with his uncle David (his mom's brother). For lunch, we headed to a famous humous place in Nazareth. Apparently, many of the better restaurants make their own humous and each is famous for a specific kind. This particular place has its own humous kitchen, with vats of garbanzos in various stages of processing. The humous chef also prepares the "foul" - a type of fava bean that is also served with the humous. By far, it was the best humous we have tasted in Israel.

From the kibbutz, we headed approximately 30 km west to meet Gabe's cousin on his dad's side, Perly and her kids, at a beachside cafe in Kiryat Yam, a northern suburb of Haifa. We enjoyed drinks and snacks while the kids frolicked on the shore. The boardwalk was packed with people exercising or out for an afternoon stroll on a breezy Saturday afternoon. Our short visit was followed by our return to Mome and Leah's house, where we went to work organizing our next few days in Israel and doing laundry. I also packed the first suitcase for our return trip home. It is hard to believe that by this time next week, we will be back in West Hills, enjoying the lazy days of summer in our own suburb.
P.S. A few extra Jerusalem pics to share below.....
