Haifa, Israel

Here I am, running along the ridge of Mount Carmel.  


I can see the bay of Haifa towards the north east, on my left when I was running towards the University of Haifa, offering stunning views. 

Many apartment blocks have solar power heating systems installed on their roofs - a testament to their intensive use of technology to survive in this piece of land.  


Actually the first view I was afforded was the Hanukkah Candelabrum (Menorah) at the airport.  


If course, I am not here for the run, as enjoyable as it is.  I am actually for the University Social Responsibility Summit.  Between the plane landing and the first meeting over dinner, I had a few hours, and the rain stopped right after we checked in at the Dan Panorama Hotel.  So it was fated that I should run.  


A friendly cat came out to greet me along the run. 


I was pleasantly surprised find so many famous people with streets named after them.  


All in all, 


a fine way to start my second visit to Israel.
