Our hosts in Qatzrin (Moshav Quidmat Tzvi) were amazing. Their hospitality has made a big impact on this trip. Shoshi and Yaacov, along with their kids accepted us in their family as if we had always been there.
In this picture, Yaakov is cooking pizzas in a fire burning stove. The night of our arrival he was throwing a party for his 12th grade geography students (something he will repeat a few times). The pizza was great and so was evening getting to know everyone.
Safed was an artists colony we walked around. It had a lot of beautiful doors and structures.

We were invited to dinner at a friend's of our hosts who are Druze. Yaakov brought what I think was a 5 gallonish container of freshly milked mild and a huge bag of pears from his orchard peartrees. Here, Shoshi and Noah pose at the dinner spot. Dinner was sitting down on the floor cussions and served over several courses

Our dinner hosts.
There were these men in another room playing shesbesh (backgammon). They were playing it so fast that they picked up the dice as fast as they rolled and moved. They were playing long before we got there and long after. After dinner I played to games with one of the "cocky" players. He beat me the first game, but I won the second game and he was shocked (or so I am led to believe). He wanted to play again, but we conveniently had to leave. I told him it is better we leave it tied.
