The Jewel of Israel

I'm in Haifa now, relaxing at my adoptive family's house. I've been here a few hours and already I prefer it to Beersheva. Really that's like comparing San Francisco to Oakland, or better, to Tombstone, Arizona. Indeed, Haifa looks a bit like Frisco, it's on the water, on a hill (mount carmel) and it's lush. The temperature is hot, but it's in the north so slightly cooler. It also has an older feel than SF, and it has the unique blend of Jews and Arabs living side by side. I can't wait to live here. In addition, my host family is wonderful, already gave me delicious food and I've got my own room with the internet and television. Jah Bless.
