Todah rabah, Johanne! I spent an afternoon and evening in Zichron, and it's a beautiful and interesting place. We visited the early settlers museum and the synagogue, and had a lovely dinner. I bought a gorgeous table runner from a little shop down a side street that everyone who sees it longs for.
I'm probably going back to Haifa in February to continue the educational project I'm involved in, and am really looking forward to returning.
