TEL AVIV, ISRAEL 6/29/12




After a good night's rest, we decided to go have a typical Israeli breakfast. We needed to get groceries and see if I could get this intl' phone issue resolved. Breakfast was great! I had some eggs on a fryed tortilla shell and Israeli salad (cucumber, tomatos, cilantro).




Cellphone was a bust, I hate getting took!!!! Then we went to the Hakarmel Market to buy some groceries. It's a combinitation open air market, flea market, and LA alleys. That was an adventure, you got guys yelling out prices and trying to get you to buy from them, people are pushing you to get by, and you see all kinds of people from all kinds of places. A few of the people that were selling greeted us in Spanish, I guess we just can't hide the Nopal. 






After we picked up our groceries we went back to the apt. and had some lunch and took a nap. Still waiting to hear from Mom and Pablo, did they make it to Rome or Frankfurt?






So we’re in Tel Aviv with the Mediterranean just a few blocks away and we’re not going to take a dip, that would be a sin. So we went. The water was great but, the beach was packed with people. We then saw some lawn chairs and some umbrellas that were not being used. Thinking we were gonna sit down, order some drinks and hang out. Heck no! Not only did you have to pay for each chair and the umbrella but, if you wanted a drink that would be another charge, so we left. We found some shade behind a little cabana and hung out there. After taking a dip and enjoying the Mediterranean for the first time I went back where Leti was at. She was having a great ol’ time people watching. Here’s some pics of that, enjoy!




I had just taken a dip and started relaxing when we get the call, Mom and Pablo had finally arrived and were waiting for us at the apt. next door to ours. So we rushed back and met them at home. We exchanged war stories (airline, airport, immigration, customs and taxi ride stories) had a light meal and went to bed.









It was weird but the plane ride must of shrunk my shirt, cause I don't remember it being this tight.
