Tel Aviv

After failing to find an easy way to get from Jerusalem to Jordan, we decided to spend the last few days of our trip a block off the beach in Tel Aviv. The weather here is still good, with clear skies and highs in the upper 70's, so we are getting a bit of beach time. Tel Aviv is very different from Jerusalem - more modern and more European in feel. It's unusual to see an ultra-orthodox Jew on the streets.

And here's a bonus tip for anyone trying to figure out how to walk around the labyrinth of streets in Israel (or anywhere else for that matter), Google Maps has turn-by-turn walking directions! We went and saw Julie and Julia last night at a theater about a half-hour's walk from here. We would never have found the place without the directions from Google. And yes, we both loved the movie!
