So today we woke up and decided to drive near the Galilee and sit by the lake. Well, soon the plan changed as my Dad mentioned that he always wanted to drive to the top of one of the mountains/big hills surrounding the Galilee. We found a dirt road off the highway and took it, but to avail we had to turn around in a grapefruit orchard! Soon we were back on the hunt for the road leading up the mountain, but we ended up in a muslim town!! I had to put my sweatshirt over my head and we were praying…so we turned around! After about an hour of wandering we find paved road leading off towards a cliff and the Galilee so we take it. Soon, the pavement turns to gravel which turns to mud. We notice a cow standing in the middle of the road with big horns! And we notice a wild, huge pig! After about an hour or so of driving on this road we do make it a place with a beautiful view! We eat our pita, hummus and olives and enjoy the land. BUt we also see a wild animal that vaguely resembles a very large (about the size of a cat) rat looking thing!
Soon, we are back on the dirt road driving and we see 2 four wheelers, we’re not sure what to expect since we are in the middle of no where! But thankfully, the guys were friendly and told us how to get back to the highway! After nearly getting stuck on the road we finally made it back to main highway to Tiberius!
Then, we stopped and found a cat that we had seen last year that we all had named Lester.
All in all, it was a very good day filled with awesome adventures of getting terribly lost and great surprises!
I love your descriptions. Sounds like a fun adventure!
