Lynn and I share a plate of tasty hummus with pine nuts and a couple of beers while swapping travel stories. It was fun to compare experiences of traveling solo through Israel, as she had been extremely brave to rent a car and drive.

The Templar Crusader Tunnel, an underground passageway between the port and the palace. It was only discovered in 1994, when a woman complained about a blocked sewer, and a plumber noticed the underground shaft that led to the tunnels.

One last look at the ancient city walls of Akko on my last day in Israel before boarding the train back to Tel Aviv for my 4:00am flight!
