Tel Aviv, Israel scolsonAnother great 24 hours in Tel Aviv...last night we headed back to Jaffa for dinner and a wander through the old city at night...Very quiet and at times we had the place to ourselves, which was strange at times...Great dinner overlooking modern TA from a 3,000 year old port...amazing....Returned to the beach zone and finshed the night at one of the outdoor beach ultra lounges...Tables and chairs set into the soft, soft sand, special lights set into the sand, full bar service and a DJ spinning ...

... bikes were for girls, doing an unfortunate number initially to my pride and eventually to my nethers.
Still, it was a great day for a ride, with the sun in a cloudless sky offset by a steady breeze as we set off south along the seaside promenade towards old Jaffa, the historic Muslim town from which the Jewish founders of Tel Aviv had originally spun off their own city, and which I had not yet had a chance to explore. Our objective: a renowned hummus ...
... br>The only climbs I did were going from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and from Kiryat Shmona to Nevet Ativ. These are not only "half tall" relatively the Stage #7, but much shorter as well. I believe that the bias here ...
Tel Aviv, Israel maxint... reasons.
These are things I don't notice anymore. You feel safe walking around Israel, I do, she does.
We walk and walk and walk and walk. We see another glorious sunset along the Tel Aviv coast that you can see from the old city. She likes the old city of Yaffo. We have some good food at the famous Aboulafia. I get her one of the knock off toasts from the place that invented them, the place I worked at right before I went to the army. The ...
... is pretty tight, here. There are security checks pretty much everywhere: tourist sites, banks, malls, etc. Guards are posted outside some restaurants and cafes, even drugstores. Men and women in army uniform are a common sight, some in groups, many hitchhiking on the remote roads. It's not uncommon to see Uzi machine guns slung over the shoulder of a soldier or even a plainclothed tour leader, and pistols are often seen in ...
Jaffa, Israel rmisaac... explained to us: Apparently, the commander of the large Nahal base had received a phone call just an hour ago from Sayaret Malkal, the best unit in the army composed of only 35 soldiers whose identities were unknown until after their army careers were over. They even wear civilian clothes to disguise their membership in this elite unit. So basically, on the night in question, they were carrying out an exercise with the objective of planting a flag on the roof of the cafeteria. Of course ...
Netanya, Israel salerhand... blogs on a cell phone application called twitter. It's really something else. I was talking with one girl who is on twitter and she ended up losing her job in November. Three days later she posted a comment on twitter and someone found her and referred her to another twitter blogger and he ended up hiring her and she still works there today. It's now a little after 12 and I am off to bed. Hope you all have a great night! Allie
Tel Aviv, Israel allieadventures... in the significance of the place. It's hard to imagine. It's hot down there, and a tight spot with over 50 people squeezed in. The walls are covered by leather like draperies and pictures hang on the drapes. It's overwhelming to see, to comprehend the importance of this place to millions of people around the world. As the Germans left and another group began to come in, I stepped forward and stooped to touch the star. I put my hand into the center of the star, near ...
Bethlehem, Palestinian Territory fletcherclaytor... are also demonstrating against this wall and against apartheid, side by side with the Palestinians, some internationals, and, of course, the occasional two-dimensional boy! We started to march down the hill with our signs and our flags towards the soldiers who were blocking the way to the wall. Suddenly, the soldiers started to shoot tear gas and rubber bullets at us. I was so surprised! I had assumed that soldiers only shot people in self ...
