What to eat an drink in Israel or from Israel? Dates, the large soft, sweet mejdool dates, and date liqueur.
I remember eating a hot date which had fallen on the ground underneath a date palm tree, walking towards the biblical oasis of Ein Gedi.
What else to see and do in Israel:
Even if you've only got two weeks, you can volunteer to work on a kibbutz.
If you've only got three hours, run a 42 km marathon. A one hour drive or three hour run through a desert landscape tight mountain backdrop. Festival in the Timna valley in February. See the Ramon crater.
I asked, "Isn't it dangerous?"
I was told: "The dangerous areas are in the far north. The marathon is in the far south."
I go everywhere, see everything. As Gandhi said, "I'm a citizen of the world".
Websites and contacts:
Kibbutz Yatvata.
I spoke to Yoni Stern, tour guide.
