At the historical park of Kfar Kedem, visitors dressed in biblical robes and headdresses ride donkeys through the rolling hills of the Galilee, learning how people lived in Old Testament times.[break]
But they can also surf the web while touring the land of the Bible on one of the oldest forms of transportation. The device slung around the donkey´s neck like a feedback is actually a Wi-Fi router.
The park´s manager, Menachem Goldberg, said Wednesday he hopes the melding of old and new will connect the younger generation to ancient Galilee life — while allowing them to share, tweet and snap the experience instantly to friends.
