After our beach trip we headed for our adventure for the day, but ate lunch first in Petah Tikva. The town is so good and famous they made
a film about it, which became
a Broadway Play! We had Pizza and Greek Salad with Bulgarian Cheese. It was Tasty (Taym)!

We then went to Yarkon National Park with the First Century city Tel Afek, and crusader fortress, Antipatris. The Apostle Paul was imprisoned there and walked through the Cardo on the way to Caesarea.
