Tel Aviv







As I mentioned, we've been making these little trips all over Israel with our group. Last Friday we all went on a tour of Old Jaffa and then walked from the port to Tel Aviv, but my group of friends, Michaela, Rachel, and Rachel (Rachel squared?) arranged to stay overnight in a hostile so we could maximize the time in Tel Aviv, including heading to the Mediterranean Sea and out to clubs at night. We met Molly and some other friends in this really cool little bar that sold beer in these dipensers with ice in the middle that were delivered to your table for countless beers. It seemed to be everyones birthday in the bar, so we sang a lot, which really only added to the allure.

The Hostile was so cheap and lots of fun. It looked like it had been decorated by Roman. Roman is a family friend who proudly displayed a God's Eye he picked up at the Goodwill in he and my brother's apartment, so you get the drift. There was a continental breakfast which consisted of as much toast, marmalade and Nescafe (the only kind of coffee here) that one could put away. We slept on bunk beds that looked stunningly close to giving way, but it was a great weekend.
