After a long day and a half of travel through three airports and several time zones, we arrived in Tel Aviv this afternoon.  Traveling through the city to our hotel, it reminds me  a lot of Phoenix–palm trees, a progressive city skyline, much construction and building going on, beautiful pink, white, peach and fushia bougainvillea cascading over the freeway walls.

This is the view at sunset of the Mediterranean Sea. Tomorrow we’re off to explore the historical sites.

Shalom.
