Here we are driving up the Golan Heights.  The Sea of Galilee is in the distance.

The blackened area on the left side of the picture is where a Hezbollah rocket struck during the recent fighting.

Here is a picture of Israel from the top of the Golan Heights with the Sea of Galilee in the background.

While in the Golan Heights, we had lunch at a Kibbutz.   From the dining room window, you can look out over the Sea of Galilee and Lebanon beyond.

From the Kibbutz, we could see the Sea of Galilee below and over to Syria and Lebanon in the distance.

On the slopes of the Golan Heights, the Israeli people grow grapes, which they use to make wine.

Our tour group stopped at one of the Golan Heights wineries for a quick tour of the facilities.
