Hi Everyone,
I was off on Friday and Saturday. The weather was perfect for touring. On Friday, I drove up the coast and on Saturday I walked around Tel Aviv.
I decided to visit a neighbourhood called Neve Tsedek. N-T is an older area where the houses are about 100 years old. The streets are very twisting, narrow and often cobblestoned. Most of the area has been renovated and gentrified. There are single homes but mostly row housing. The homes that have been updated are beautiful and I am sure very expensive The area is not far from the beach. There are many high quality shops and restaurants. I had a capuccino and a frozen yoghurt decorated with fruits and chocolate sauce.
Later in the afternoon, the sun came out and so did the heat so I did some body surfing.
You can see from the pictures the contrasts that are apparent in the city. There are high rise apartments, houses that have not yet been renovated, gentrified streets and mansions. There is always something to discover in the city that they call ‘the city that never sleeps’.
I spent the day today in the ambulance. The cases were very routine. Tomorrow I will do an evening shift, leaving me the morning to catch up on my emails. As usual, I am sipping a beer, finishing off my first pizza in Israel and writing my blog.
Love,
Brian
