Commonly Referred to as Israel's 3rd City
I was born in Haifa but at the age of 4 we immigrated to Los Angeles were I grew up and the city I indistinctly refer to as home. My immediate family all lives in L.A. In 2008 I came to Israel with the intention of living/ working here for a year... but 8 years later I'm still here. And though Haifa is referred to as Israel's 3rd city (due to size, population) it is Israel's only true melting pot where regardless of being Jewish, Christian or Muslim, we all live side by side in a village to large to be a village thus a city, on Mount Carmel too small to be a mountain yet of such distinct nature that it must be a perfectly large hill, and built around a perfectly crescent-shaped port. Here are 2 pics taken yesterday. Ain't Haifa a beauty?!
