Day 45: Haifa
July 10: Up early to catch bus with some Maccabiah people to Haifa, to watch the first match of the Masters Mens Soccer - Australia v Mexcio. Result was 2-2, however Australia looked promising in the first half 2-0. Unfortunately this fortune did not stay, but a draw is better than nothing at all. Met a few guys from the USA team watching the match to seek out strategies.
Walked down to the women's field to watch a little of the USA v Israel match (NB: It's the first time women's soccer is in the Maccabiah).
Caught a taxi with my luggage and Sally who met me at the ground to the team hotel. Walked around the neighbourhood, had lunch at a very nice and relaxing cafe and then by the pool till mid afternoon.
Staying at my very good family friend's place - Tali and her husband Asi. We went out for dinner tonight to "Pasto", a very yummy Italian restaurant - nice to have a change!
Relaxed and chatted the night away. It's nice being in a home environment too.
