Today, we got up without any hurry and took off for Jaffa at the southern end of Tel Aviv. I think that you could call today Ben's u-turn day. On the way to Jaffa, he missed the turn and had to make a u-turn three times! When we got to Jaffa, there was an art fair going on, called Fresh Paint. When we were there a week ago, we wondered what they were building a big, new warehouse, and today we found out why. It was filled with two floors of art coming from new art school graduates. It wasn't all my favorite art, but it was fun anyway. We had a great time and then had lunch outside the art show and went up to the top of the hill with all the old structures. We actually saw a lot more this time than we had seen the first time. It was great fun. We got to see the Mediterranean coast along the northern shore of Tel Aviv.
We then left Jaffa and drove up along the shore to the Carmel Market and pedestrian mall. Kristin did some shopping, and we all enjoyed the markets. We wanted to buy flowers for Raquel to thank her, and we bought those at the market. When we got home we found out that the bouquet was huge and beautiful. We think that she like them.
After the markets, we took off north and had dinner in a fancy restaurant on the beach in Herzliya. it was very, very nice with good food. The only problem was a Russian man in his running wear who did not seem to be able to sit to eat his dinner. Very strange. Then we got lost coming home again!
It was a very nice day.
