Where am I?

The Beach in Tel-Aviv. The most beautiful beach I have ever been to.

The Old City of Jaffa.

Sunday Aug 19th 5am i woke up to go to the airport. It wouldn't have been so bad had i not gone to bed at 3:30! Anyways, my trip to Israel was beginning...so i was excited. The airport was a bit crazy, there was so much security. I think i stood in 8 lines before i was able to board the plane! However, the flight went well. I arrived at the Airport in Tel Aviv and got asked so many questions at security! I was so unprepared! Besides being interrogated at Passport control, it was a beautiful airport, very nice. And believe me, i know, because i walked around it for a while trying to find the bus then the train. I ended up taking the train into Tel Aviv. From the train station I took a taxi. After my last taxi experience i was a bit weary about taking one, but since i didn't have a clue as to where i was i thought it was best not to get lost on my first day =)

I am staying at the Hayarkon Hostel right beside the beach. I think that it is the most beautiful beach i have ever seen! Living in a hostel is a bit strange...but very cheap and there are many interesting people here. Yesterday i spend the afternoon at the beach then walked (yes walked) to the city of Jaffa. There is an old port there which was nice. For dinner i got shwarma...it was the best shwarma i have ever had! So good.

Today i am off to see the Nahum Goldman Museum of the Jewish Diaspora and Tel Aviv University. That is, if i can figure out the bus system!
