Markets and Streets of Jaffa

May 10, 2019 2 comments

Now that shops are open again after Independence Day, we did quite a bit of walking and a little shopping. We didn’t hear the different guitars, but saw a few for sale. Notice the street signs are in Hebrew, Arabic and English.

The Tel Aviv Beach

Today is the 2nd day of Independence “Day” in Israel, and just like in the US (July 4), people hit the beach, hang out, and BBQ. We’re staying near the beach in the Jaffa neighborhood in Tel Aviv. And yes, the beach and park were crowded today!

Old Jerusalem

We saw the sights in Jerusalem inside and outside of the old city. See if you can recognize the spots where 3 religions, and many variations, all mix together. Notice the tattoo place that has been in business since 1300!

Walking around Tel Aviv

Yes, Tel Aviv is a normal busy city, but with street signs in Hebrew and Arabic. This as the first time I had ever seen chips and cereal in Hebrew, or even knew that whiskey is made here or that McDonald’s delivers. No, we didn’t go to McDonald’s, but we did sample the whiskey.
