I recently traveled to Israel. A trip of a lifetime to say the least. I had planed this trip for a while. I wish I had studied Hebrew a little better than I did.
Above is the arrival hall in Ben Gurion International (actually in the city of Lod). I like the open layout, easy to navigate through.
My friend Uri took me on a short tour of Tel Aviv and Old Jafa. Here is the Old Jafa area showing Tel Aviv in the distance:
The Mediterainian Sea was the clearest blue that I have seen. I did not swim this time, but I always have next time.
Uri droped me off at the apartment rental, which was great. My sence of direction is scary bad! I waited in the apartment, actually took a nap. I took the train to Ben Gurion to pick up my friend Martin. This was his first time in Israel, and the first in his family to see "home." Martin and I went out to dinner on the beach. Watching the sea while eating is priceless. After dinner (about 1 am) we crashed at the apartment. We finally woke up (no idea what time), we took a stroll along the Pramenade. The beach was amazing. Here are Martin and I at the beach:
Later that night Martin and I took a stroll around the apartment. I tell you, I travel around the world and look at what I find:
Uri and his friend Tali joined us for dinner this night, but not at Pizza Hut. All 4 of us had a great dinner and took the time to know more about each other.
This was about all of Tel Aviv that Martin and I saw.
Next blog entry, the arrival of Jerusalem.
