Cana to the Goat Farm

We have found sleeping interesting so far. We can get some good stretches of sleep at night but they are interrupted by loud chanting and music broadcast over loudspeakers usually around 4 a.m.  Last night we were serenaded with "festive music" till around 1 a.m.  Nonetheless, we arose this morning fairly refreshed and ready to walk. We provided our own breakfast this day (pitas, yogurt and fruit). After adding a few provisions for our day from a local market and getting another glimpse of the Cana Wedding Chapel, we hit the road.  Today was quite sunny and warm.  We did not plan for this to be a long distance day but the first part was pretty much all uphill for 5 km.  The topography can be very picturesque with the towns and cities grouped tightly together on the hillsides. What we find very disconcerting is that some of our paths have been lined heavily with garbage. Such disrespect for the land. Surprising. After we walked along some mountain ridges we made a steep descent to Ilaniya, the home of the Yarok Az Eco-goat farm. This would be our resting place till morning. We partook of our food and then washed our clothes. We spent some time chilling and contemplating our next moves. Today is Shabbat, the Jewish holy day so many things are shut down so finding dinner is very hard to do. We resorted to some of our emergency food, some nuts and fruit.  The Goat Farm is an interesting and rustic place. Goats (and their accompanying flies), gardens and a small pond with the loudest frogs in the world. They will feed us breakfast in the morning before we start our day's journey. Probably going to be vegetarian/vegan. That's ok.
