Besides enjoying the many shops, restaurants and clue' of Haifa, NIMITZ crewmembers joined guided tours is Nazareth, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Galilee and Tel Aviv R separate, special free tour of the local brewery, winery and diamond cutters was sponsored by the local businessmen Crewmembers also visited museums, churches and hlstoril cal sites that abound throughout the country. lvlost NIIVIITZMEN found genuine hospitality extended to them by the Israeli people. A few ventured into various kibbutz communities and came back with stories of com- munal life without money, children living separate from their families within the confines of the community and of pro- found interest in the American culture by the Israelis. The Israeli military was in evidence everywhere, carrying automatic weapons and sidearms openly. Although this is the normal way of life for Israelis, it was a new and unique experience for the crew.
