Israel Day 3
We slept through the morning because of lack of communication with Becca's aunt and because of her inability to "wake up children". We met with Sharona in Tel-Aviv, who took us to an arts and crafts market close to the Dizingoff Centre. After Sharona left for work we made our way to the fruit and vegetable market (Shuk) . Alex, took us a for a very detailed and guide self tour through the old city of Jaffa. This city has so much history. The French, British, Ottoman, Babylonians, etc all had once controlled this town. At night we went for a swim at the Rishon beach where we stayed to have a few drinks at the footsteps of the water enjoying the view of the sunset hitting the Meditereanian Sea.
Israel Day 4 (Gadi's BIRTHDAY!!!)
Our day started by going to a spa (Relax Spa) we enjoyed an amazing couples massage, followed by a sauna/jacuzzi room ending with a healthy and included lunch. That was part of Becca's birthday gift to Gadi (Whose present is this for eh?). Ariel, Becca's brother, was taking part of a 2 and half month volunteer program for the Israeli Army and today was his graduation ceremony. We drove 2 and 1/2 hours past Be'er Sheva to the middle of nowhere for a 1/2 hour act. Once back, we got together with Becca's family to drink and eat to celebrate Gadster's 23 BDay.
Interesting Fact: So far I (Gadi) do not believe that we came to Israel, every single person speaks Russian in this country...

Happy Birthday, Gadi! (This time for real!) It should not surprise you to see so many Russians around. Trust me, they are everywhere! :D
Oy...I feel so bad. I wanted to send a Happy Birthday email, but I completely forgot! Damnit. I was even focusing on the day too. Seems like with my lack of proper sleep, and work always using the next day's date, I was not focusing well. Sorry. Happy Birthday anyways! Hope you had a good time. :)
FYI (in case you didn't hear): that arts/crafts market is open only on Tuesdays and Friday morning/early afternoons. How about that shuk, eh? Haha.
You haven't experience Yaffo until you eat the food there. May I recommend some authentic hummous and other goods? Can't forget Abulafia.
As for malls, go to the Azrieli. It's a bit nicer and many people to watch, especially soldiers with a base near by. If you go outside, cross the bridge, and walk for about 20 minutes, you'll hit my neighbourhood. ;)
Hope both of you are having fun times. Le'heet.
