Acco brings all my senses to life … the taste of the delicious treats, the aromas they give off, and the gorgeous colors of the foods … one can hardly wait for lunch time so you can enter one of the oriental restaurants. Acco arouses my curiosity and invokes my desire explore the underground tunnels where brave archeologists uncover another layer of our unknown past each year all under the homes of current residents of the city.
Acoo stirs the desire to travel all throughout Europe. The architecture alone makes
me think of Venice and Florence.
Acco attracts me with its colorful market and the peaceful coexistence between Arabs and Jews living in this city.
I can truly see in my mind's eye the cosmopolitan ambiance of the city which served as the capital city of Richard the Lion Hearted during the time of the Crusades.I can visualize the Muslim ladies in their colorful fabrics, and I can hear the metallic sound of the knight’s armor that must have rung through the streets.
Even in modern times, there are things to see.In the port, a seaman show s a group of children monkeys and parrots that he brought from far away Africa.
Winds of evening come from the port as I rush there to see the fisherman arranging their nets before sailing into the night.
