First day first stop Gilbon Stream Nature reserve. We walked up to the falls, which are called Devora falls, and walked around the remains of the village.
Look what we found on our way up.
After hiking up and down we ate a hearty lunch.
After lunch we went to the ancient city of Katzirin. Instead of Naama as our tour guide, we were lucky to have a "villager that used to live in Katzrin". We got to see around her house, we sat in the living room and went up to check out the bedroom.
We saw what a difficult task it was for the women to grind wheat for flour.
Ephraim had a chance to use the ancient tool used to fix roofs so rain would not leak in.
Here we are turning the olive press to create oil.
Everyone in front of the ancient shul in Katzirin.
This is what the shul was presumed to look like.
Next stop - Golan Heights Winery we learned how wine used to be made by stomping on the grapes with bare feet, and how wine is produced in the factory today. Golan Heights Winery produces over 5 million bottles a year!!
The best part was when we got to taste the wine. We learned how it's properly done. We smelled it, swirled it, tilted it and drank it down- boy was that good!
That night we stayed over in Ohala-next to the Kinnneret, and Naama helped us make tea. After our tea we all turned in for the night in anticipation of the next day.
After the winery we watched a movie about the Golan that integrated all the senses.
Check out the beautiful Golan sunset.
We ate yummy burgers and fries at Burger Ranch for supper.
