View from the deck of our room in Tel Aviv

                    There is a great market. Hacarmel Market in Tel Aviv that is just fabulous.  I bartered down 25 sheckel flig-flops for 11 and a 35 sheckel wallet for 22.5  it was fun!

                                      We stayed in Tel Aviv for 3 days to recover from any jet lag before heading on (by train) to Haifa for our pilgrimage.

                                                                          We encountered a large dance sequence as we walked the promenade.  I took a large sequence that I will put together into small phoTobinStyle motion picture.

                                                                                      Food portions are much larger than one might expect. We shared a starter and one entree and couldn't finish them.  The menu said Fish & Chips, but to be honest it was more like A fish and chips.
