The Orchards

Tonight we took a "tour" through the orchards on the kibbutz.  Now I promise i will work on pictures.  A lot of people got some great ones.  There are avacados, lychees, guava, passion fruit, pomegranate, clementines, oranges, lemons,... (not all of those are crops, but they grow there)  We didn't see all of the different types but not at least we know where to wander and look for them. For the most part you can just pick and have whatever you want.  And they have these areas for you to sit and hang out, eat your fruit, read, enjoy the view.  Some of these spots are beautiful. They are hidden by bushes and flowers and looks so calm and peaceful.  From the top of the of the mountain you can see Haifa and the Mediterranean Sea.  We were there at sunset and you could see the sun rays streaming through the clouds over Haifa with the bay just to the north and the fields of the kibbutz right below us. It was pretty awesome.
