Day 7 was another busy one. After leaving the kibbutz, we took a long, muddy, and green hike along the El-Al River. As you can see, this was completely different terrain than we saw down south in the Negev. There was a lot more green, more water, and more cows.
After the hike, we cleaned our shoes of mud and went over the Golan Heights Winery in Katzrin for a tour. Wine tasting done, we stopped at the top of Mount Bental (הר בנטל) for a view of Syria and a lesson from Yaron on the Yom Kippur War (מלחמת יום הכיפורים). History lessons done, we headed to Tiberias for a stop at a hot springs (really an old-people bath house). Once we were all freshly coated in slimy volcanic water, we quickly went to Jerusalem for the night.
