Jonathan Siegel (JSBird) > What teenage boy would not want a chance to shoot a submachine gun (an Uzi)?

Jonathan Siegel (JSBird) > One of only 2 ice rinks in the Middle East (other one is in Dubai?), this rink at the northern tip of the state is popular with immigrant Russian skaters, some of them world champions

Jonathan Siegel (JSBird) > Yes, that does say "Israel bobsled.." Probably practiced with the Jamaican team

Jonathan Siegel (JSBird) > Next day, back across the Galilee to the Crusader port town of Acco (or Acre), across from Haifa in the north. This mosque was built by Al Jazeer "the butcher" around 200 years ago

Jonathan Siegel (JSBird) > Outside building of the mosque

Jonathan Siegel (JSBird) > The crusader fort was the main attraction, taking up a large part of the old town. When the Muslims kicked the Crusaders out finally, they tore down their buildings and built right on top of them (a common theme in this part of the world). Hence many excavations are below present ground level

Jonathan Siegel (JSBird) > The ancient building has modern additions to support the 900 year old walls

Jonathan Siegel (JSBird) > In the huge dining hall, steel bands ensure stability
