Were they in Tiberias? I stayed there for a couple days when a buddy and flew to Israel from Germany for a two week vacation in ~1983. St. Peter's fish was the favored menu item.

At that time (and probably still today), Tiberias had a pretty good night life. Swedish UN soldiers from up on the Golan Heights would come into town and the Israeli babes would swarm them (instead of us ).

My son was just up there a couple of weeks ago. He said it was insanely hot with a strong wind - like a blast furnace. He had 6 weeks TDY in Israel and will be moving there from Germany in October.
