I'll sleep when I get back to Atlanta....

So I went for a walk. Nearby is an art gallery and here are two interesting sculptures:






A block away is the Promenade....along the Mediteranean....all the way to Jaffa. While the waves were not as large or as loud as those at Orchard Beach or Coney Island, still....it was the sound of water. FYI, Old Jaffa is a terrific place and it's only about 2.5 miles away from my hotel.



Guess what's along the way?



Here's an Old Jaffa street:


Then guess what happened....the camera battery gave out! So from here on out you'll just have to read.

I really enjoyed walking in and around in Old Jaffa. Of course I knew which direction to go. Not! There seems to be a little rust in my mind's compass. I kept walking and fortunately my bladded outvoted my testosterone and I asked for directions. I was going in the opposite direction! I must have walked half way to Jerusalem!

Interesting - while walking some of the deserted back street of Old Jaffa I realized I felt very safe. Nice feeling!

Another observation - I haven't yet seen a soldier carrying a weapon - not even at the airpirt. The other three times I've been here, it was commonplace. Maybe it'll be different in Jerusalem. It certainly will be on an army base.

That's all for now Folks!
