Day 2 in Israel, a tour of Northern Israel.

We took JNF planned tour of the northern Israel. We visited an Air Force training base and met several of the soldiers and teachers there.

We then went to a park called Agamon Hula. It used to be a swamp that had been drained to make for more land mass, but years ago it was recognized that is was a mistake. JNF has been helping to move this area back to a shallow lake and the associated swamp. Now it is a place for migratory birds to stop and rest on their way from Asia to Africa.
