Caesarea, En Shemer, and a Druze Village

Caesarea, Kibbutz En Shemer, and a Druze Village

By: Morey Spellman

The day started out early with a trip to Caesarea. All of us were tired from the previous nights adventures. While in this beautiful and awe inspiring location just off the meditaranean sea and with ever one in good spirits, our group leaned many things about Caesarea's history. We learned that it was both grusome and very interesting.

Next we went to Kibbutz En Shemer, which is a small unified village. The Kibbutz tour included a movie, tractor ride, a brief history of the site, and a visit to see the cows.

Finally, we made a stop at a Druze village on Mt. Carmel. After learning about the religion we at an interesting assortment of food. We were then treated to some Mizrachi music with one person playing a drum and another playing a guitar of sorts. After a long tiring day we all went our separate ways with new memories and new experiences.
