After a lot of maneuvering around the hills of Safed,
../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160001
we finally got to a place where the view was fabulous
../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160002
../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160003
and sat down to lunch.
Jane did an excellent job of taking the individual photos
../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160004
../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160005
../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160006
../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160008
../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160009
including Benjamin imitating Chaim the magician
../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160007
and an elegant self portrait
../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160010
We copied our neighbors and took a picture of the city
reflected in the bank window
../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160011
We then started to explore the artist area
leaving some of our group to try the ice cream
../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160012
We particularly liked the work in this shop
../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160013
where the proprietor
../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160014
was very sweet about explaining kabalistic thought to us.
Next, we went to the old part of the city where they
were more serious about dress code
../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160015
than we were
../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160016
Since we had no Kohanim in the crowd, this was not a problem
../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160017
We ended the day with a tour of the candle factory
../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160020
where we saw some marvelous work
../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160018
