Tel Aviv Adventures...


Tuesday 11 January, 2011

Bayla, Jenna Bazelon, and Sydnee were still not 100% this morning so Jenna Bishop, Eleanor, and Ashley (the few…the proud…the healthy) cabbed it to Neve. After a full morning of class, we hopped into the maidel mobile and gunned it for Tel-Aviv, fueled by some yummy pita pizza á la the Neve cafeteria.

In Tel-Aviv, we wandered the Nachalat Binyomin artists market for a few hours, checking out hand-made jewelry and Judaica. With all our wallets a little lighter, we took cabs to a delicious restaurant called Primavera. Unfortunately, it was both delicious and closed, so we walked down the street to Prima Grill. Fortunately, the detour led us along the boardwalk, and we enjoyed the sight of a beautiful sunset over the Mediterranean.

After dinner, we drove to nearby Holon for Dialogue in the Dark. We were led on an indoor tour of a forest, a boat, a cabin, and a concert…all in rooms completely devoid of light. Our guide, like all guides at the Blind Museum, was visually impaired, and shared some of her amazing life with us during our round table discussion (at least, I think the table was round!)

We’re all worn out, so we trooped back to Jerusalem and made a quick stop off at the grocery store for some essentials before hurrying home to hit the hay. Got to rest up…dead sea tomorrow!
