Next we went to Akko. It is an old Crusader city that Napolean tried to conquer. He failed. Saw some old fortreses. It is a very poor city. 60% Jews and 40% Arabs. Many of the Jews are black Jews from Ethiopia. Very high crime rate. Crime is not a big issue in Israel unless it is white collar. It is very safe almost everywhere. Coincidence #3: There is a hotel in town called Palm Beach Hotel. I do not think Renay would care to vacation there. Finally back to Tel Aviv where Moshe met us for dinner. We ate at Benni the Fisherman's at the old seaport and it was spectacular. I had a whole seabass cooked in garlic and olive oil. Got back to hotel around 10:30. Just a great day.
