After we left the visit, we then went to Rosh Pina a pretty town with old, stone houses, and boutique shops. It was very cute and nice. We stopped at the cafe and had coffee, coke, etc and a wonderful chocolate dessert. It was very cute, and the food was delicious.
Then we hurried to the Kibutz Gadot in order to visit before it got dark. We visited with Ilana's friends who live on the Kibutz. We walked all over and asked lots of questions. It was pretty and very interesting. It turns out that none of the kibutz's are really socialistic any more. In most of the kibutz's people live and work either on the kibutz or not, but they get paid by the kibutz and have their own property though they do not own their homes on the kibutz. This kibutz has lots of farm land and grows vegetables and fruits. It also produces lots of cheeses; runs a big guest house (64 rooms), and runs a cafeteria and laundry. There are 150 members of this kibutz and about 300 people living there. Parking is on the outside, and you walk around in between all the buildings in the kibutz. It was a wonderful visit.
From the kibutz, we drove home, but by way of Tiberias, which is right on Lake Kineret with big hotels and all.We will see more of the Lake tomorrow as well as the Golan Heights and Lebanon. We are now home and happy to relax and tell you all our story!
