Hi everyone, I'm in Israel for the next 8 days and hope to share my experiences, food and otherwise. If you've been and want to share yours, I'd love to hear them. Click the comment button.
Day 3
It's the third day of my trip to Israel. And as press trips go, we've packed about as much into each day as possible. From the Dead Sea we took a cable car up to Masada, the ruins of King Herrods palace in the desert. Then we headed north to the Sea of Galilee. There we went to a kibbutz on the water, that specializes in St. Peter's fish (another name for tilapia). They fry it whole--head and all, and serve with a variety of salads and of course hummus. Very tasty. It's a shame Americans are so squeamish about fish with its head on as this was a great way to eat it.
As it is almost 100 degrees here, one of the things I've enjoyed the most is the abundance of fresh squeezed orange juice. Stands will big piles of oranges just waiting to be manually squeezed are everywhere--particularly in Jerusalem and all the open air markets.
Next it's off to more ruins, and Tel Aviv.
