Sorry, didn't snap the Philips. It was probably about 10" wide and 8" high plus the dial glass. I don't the shopkeeper was too keen on me taking pictures.
Yes, it was a good trip. Had breakfast outdoors most days, what a luxury for February. Went up to the Golan Heights one day. Got chatting with with the Irish CO of one of the UN peackeeping/observing forces up there.He pointed out a cloud of smoke a few miles into Syria. He wasn't sure who was shelling whom and didn't seem too fussed about it. His job was to make sure there's no trouble on the Israel/Syria border, liaiase with both sides as necessary. He said that stray shells came into Israel fairly often but that it wasn't intentional. None of the Syrian factions actually wants to annoy Israel like this. Not even IS or Hezbollah.
Another day saw the sun sink into the Med while rock hyraxes played on the boulders.
