Finally Made It! Here We Go!

After a long 25 hour trek taking plane, train and automobile we finally made it to Haifa, Israel. We found our accomodations at the Port Inn. After quickly settling in we decided we must eat something to carry us through till morning (our internal clocks were way off).  A local store provided us with fruit, nuts and yogurt to hold us. We then laid our heads down for a well needed yet weird night's sleep. 

Our first morning in Haifa, we were treated to a  big, interesting breakfast at our Inn. We then headed out to explore the area.  The day greeted us with rain, the first they had in weeks.  Fortunately, it wasn't too heavy.  We started by taking the Carmelit Subway, the worlds shortest and Israel's only subway. The short ten-minute ride took us to the top of Mount Carmel.  We traversed the hillside taking in many sights including Elijah's cave. After a tasty lunch we took a couple of buses to arrive in Nazareth.  We were armed with directions to our hostel but unfortunately the streets have no names here so we literally wandered until we found it (we had a general idea of the direction).  After cleaning our bodies and some clothes we headed out and wandered the streets till we found the section or town called "Mary's Well" and found a sufficient supper.  Hopefully, a good nights sleep will prepare us to start our journey on the Jesus Trail tomorrow.
