The Mansbach side of the family requested a slow day which meant that we slept later, enjoyed our first Israeli buffet breakfast and sent Lenore and Allen off to Safed and Rosh Pina with Ikey. Back at the ranch, Jodi, Orly and Eli went on a great horseback ride with our guide Soof along the banks of the Kinneret while Ross and Bram played chess. By the time we returned from the ride and had a snack, Ikey and the grandparents had returned and picked us up to visit Golan Heights Winery (makers of Yarden, Gamla and Golan) where there was a cute movie, quick tour and great wine tasting. Orly, Eli and Bram fully participated in the wine tasting showing a definite preference for the dessert wine, a moscato type, which they gulped down. Everyone was happy to be back at the ranch early. The kids spent two full hours in the pool and then we sat under the canopied area for evening backgammon, watched a beautiful sunset and had another good dinner here including American favorites chicken wings and chicken in the basket along with a bottle of Gamla Pinot Noir. The evening ended on the late side with Orly falling asleep, Bram shining everyone's shoes and Eli and Ross playing one last round of backgammon.
