Speaking of Ramallah, I quite liked it (see previous post for some photos). It was busier, and more urban, than I expected. Very lively, full of people shopping, working, celebrating Ramadan--in short, living quite normal lives in spite of the difficulty of living under military occupation. It felt more lively and more normal--whatever that means--than Jerusalem.
With more of the West Bank off the program, I decided to leave Jerusalem a day ahead of schedule, so came to Tel Aviv on Wednesday. That gave me time to go to Haifa Thursday.
As may be evident from the above photos, Haifa is built on a hill. A big hill. I took the Carmelit, Haifa's one-line "subway" up to the top.

And then walked back down, taking advantage of the many steps that had been considerately built into the hill.
