I wasn't as sneaky today or the students are catching onto my tricks because I have fewer nice pics of the students in Jaffa. Jaffa Port is 4,000 years old. The views are beautiful of the Sea, and the old, super old, and down right ancient hang out happily next to the newer more modern buildings that are part of Tel-Aviv. Jaffa and Tel-Aviv are like VA Beach and Norfolk except they are not separate cities any more. Jaffa is super old while Tel-Aviv is like a hip college student or entry level techie. Somehow it all works.
If Jerusalem is cream, Masada is brown, then Tel Aviv is a rainbow. A rainbow of colors, styles, and shapes, Tel Aviv is a nice change from the pops of color in the old cities. Everywhere you see graffiti art works, small galleries, and neon lights. The glow of the city at night lights up the streets until it is swallowed up by the Mediterranean Sea. Frantic and hopping at night the students dipped their toes in the Sea and nibbled ice cream cones near the shore.
