Akko and Bubble Balls, July 22

We started off our day going to Kibbutz Chanaton. This Kibbutz was unique because it has almost all sects of Judaism represented in it but only has one synagogue so Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform Jews pray together. There, we learned and discussed the differences and similarities between all of those sects. Next we drove about 30 minutes to the old city of Akko. There, we took a tour of the Templar tunnels from the time of the crusaders. We learned about the crusaders as well as archaeological tels or cities under cities, under cities. Next, we had free time in the Arab market in Akko which was quite different from the markets we had previously been in. After that, we went back to the hostile and had rest time until dinner. After dinner, we had an activity with bubble balls which was a great way to end the trip and then we had free time afterwards and then we went to sleep.
