Gorgeous windows…<\/p>\n

Ready to see my very first Israeli falafel ?!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I arrived in Tel Aviv around 7pm after a 24hour journey. First, I flew from Katowice, Poland, to Manchester, England. I spent about 4 hours in downtown Manchester, 4 hours at the airport, before flying to Israel… needless to say, I was hungry, sleepy, and SO excited! After a joyous reunion with my friend (we’ve realized we’ve known each other 12 years!), dropping stuff off, she took me out about two blocks… to the beach.<\/p>\n

Just one night shot for you =]<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The next morning, we went to get breakfast, complete with cappu e macchiato. Italy has its influence, it seems.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It’s a cute place!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Israeli breakfast! They ran out of shakshuka, but I got to try that later. Some breads, omelet, eggplant, fresh cheese, tuna, herb spread, and Israeli salad.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then we went around the city and came across a mini concert at Rabin Square. The memorial:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My feet, oh the places you take me… \"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Right nearby is an outside mall that reminds me of the Embarcadero shopping center in San Francisco. A combination of architecture, choice in greenery typologies, materials, something about it. Here’s a panorama image of the interior space on the upper level.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It even has a water feature.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We resume walking tour!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Apparently it is very common to see parked cars on sidewalks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This tree. I don’t know what it is, or where it’s from, but its spikes all along its trunk are awesome! It reminds me of durian!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It’s gorrrrgeous. Especially right after raining. We got caught in a torrential downpour =] and I had forgotten how wonderful it was to be caught in a rainstorm.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This cat is so cool. So often we comment on how cats have mittens based on their markings. This one, he has his own kippah =]<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Finding swings? Check!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I love the colors…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And then, a night out! Reunited and ready!<\/p>\n
