During another hour of driving along the convoluted coastal highway you pass several more small beach/inland villages. Sometimes the villages are clearly older fishing villages and at other times the villages were mainly fishing villages, but are now there mostly to service the estates along the beach and inland up the hills. Finally, Lysia slows down and turns to the right, away from the shore, driving up a smaller side road into the hills overlooking the ocean. Here the land is rolling hills with small valleys between them. Small groves of trees are interspersed with vineyards and fruit orchards growing on the sides of the hills. You can see large mansions back away from the road surrounded by stone walls...and probably more modern, and less visible, security measures. Lysia turns off the road at one of them, and stops the car in front of a closed gate of what looks like wrought iron metal bars with "House of David" written in an arch of metal along the top of the gate. A security monitor and call box can be seen on the stone post holding up one side of the gate. Eris AKU
