We Made it!

So, we survived the huge flight (barely). We flew to DC first with an hour layover, then off to Frankfurt with another hour layover, then finally, our last flight to Tel Aviv which was delayed like an extra hour. Bu the time we boarded that flight I was feeling a bit queasy and malnourished. I finally couldn't take it anymore and made use of the sick bag as we were hitting the runway in Tel Aviv. All that to say, our first day was HORRIBLE! We finally got to our hostel at 6pm (5am your time), 24 hours after arriving at Sea-tac.



Today was much better. It is the end of our second day (9pm) as I write this although it is 11 am your time. Today we saw Jaffa, the old town of Tel Aviv and the artists district, we swam in the Mediterranean for hours, made friends with a guy from Buenos Aires and had lunch with him at what is know here as the "best hummus place in all of Tel Aviv". Here, there was a crowd of locals and a huge line, but soooo good!



We are at an Internet cafe and they don't let you plug stuff in so we can't upload any of our pictures but hopefully at some point we can.



Tomorrow morning we are going to the Caramel Market and then taking a one hour bus to Jerusalem. On Saturdays they observe that Sabbath and elevators stop, power goes out, shops close, etc, so it will be interesting to see what locals do and that is what we will do!
