The First Day

I slept well the first night in Israel. I was beat and was able to rest.
We started early on the morning of the Sabbath. As I mentioned earlier, we stayed at a kosher hotel.
Everyone came for breakfast on time, except the hotel staff. Being the Sabbath, breakfast was set and cooked the night before, but the staff was nowhere to be found. We managed to get something to eat, and get going.
We drove by kibbutz, a golf course community for the rich and wealthy on our way to our first stop - Cesarea Maritima.
The day was hot, and we are expecting a heat wave this week. Being part of the Sabbath and being a long weekend with Rosh Hashanah starting on Sunday, many Israelis are celebrating. Great weather to be outdoors.
