My new employer is headquartered in Israel and as a result I got to take a trip there for new hire orientation and brainwashing. Along with several very long work days, our group went on organized tours of the old cities of Jaffa and Caesarea with a stop in Isfiya and the monastery at Mount Carmel. The Mediterranean coast of Israel is beautiful and I hope I get more opportunities to visit in the future.
