Life on the ground in Israel

A quiet Saturday on the beach

Will and I head North today. We spend a quiet Saturday in Netanya on the beach. If I had not watched the TV or read the newspaper, I would not know that any kind of “War” is going on in Israel. Haifa is about 2 hours, by car, from Jerusalem. Netanya is about an hour away.

Daily life goes on. Netanya in bustling with people everywhere. It, too, is on the Mediterranean. It just does not look like any trouble is going on here. People are swimming, surfing, eating, and walking around the town–generally doing what they would normally do on any other day.

As the sun sets, we head back to Jerusalem. The roads are crowded with cars, but we arrive safe and sound.

Will is sending pictures.
