7/2/2017 Israel day 6: Haifa, Eingedi

Today we went to the maritime museum in Haifa.  Photos here.

Pirates, arrggh!



















Ramming speed! (Roman ship's ram)



郑氏 - Ching Shih - the most bad-ass pirate ever! 300 ships, 40,000 pirates under her command, 401K plan inventor.  She started as a teenage sex slave prostitute and became a pirate admiral empress.



























Learn the ropes!

We had amazing falafel for lunch in a tiny falafel stand.  The secret to great falafel is fresh ingredients, fresh oil, & eat fresh-cooked.

Then we drove to Ein Gedi.  Part of the drive had me a little nervous, especially in 109 degree heat. but we arrived safely and uneventfully.  The dates they grow here in Ein Gedi are to-die-for awesome, the best I have ever tasted.

Tomorrow we plan to wake up before dawn and hike up Masada at 05:00 local time.
