After our traditional breakfast, took off for Zichron Ya'akov, a lovely, quaint little town about an hour northeast of Tel Aviv. It is a cute art community with boutiques and restaurants. We walked around, ate lunch outside (shakshuka, which is a tomato based sauce, with a poached egg in it; delicious especially with home made bread to dip). We found a tiny shop where the husband, wife and son make beautiful papers (lamps, placemats, books, etc.) And bought gifts. Also, bought some delicious spices to use in rice and salads in a little shop.
Came back to Tel Aviv and walked to the outside market, which was so much fun. Lots of artists selling jewelry and crafts. Took our time returning to the hotel and had fun watching Margot search for the perfect chocolate rugelach!
Tonight we had dinner in Ra'anana with Margot's cousin, Margolite and her husand, Yonkala. He was a sargeant in the Israeli army for many years, and is highly respected. He bought a small piece of land in what used to be orange groves many years ago; a developer bought it from them to build fancy condos, and in exchange, game them the penthouse. It is really beautiful; we ate outside and they have a lovely view, which on a clear day they can see the city and west bank. Margelite made a delicious dairy dinner. Their daughter in law told me that her niece was killed in the Passover bombing which occurred in Israel.
Eric and I took a long walk on the beachwalk after we got back tonight.
