Yesterday we went to tell Aviv, for some much needed R and R. It is always fun to go see Tel Aviv, the city that is within a bubble.
The first stop on the tour was the Yitzhak Rabin memorial park. This is the spot where Rabin was murdered back in 1995. At the park there are spots on the floor where one can see where Rabin was standing, his bodyguards and also the Murderer, Yigal Amir.
From there, we went to the old city of Yafo. While it was not my first time taking a tour of the old city, with its tight and long corridors, I was never able to get over the feeling only a few years ago, Napoleon had one taken the same route.
From there it was time for some lunch and shopping at the shook. There is nothing on earth that can compare to the shook. There is so much to see, smell, taste and buy that one cannot imagine it all.
From the shook, we went to the Palmach Museum. The Palmach was the first Special Forces branch of the Israeli army. If you have not yet gone to the museum, I suggest you go. It is not like a normal museum. There are a lot of videos and you follow the story of 6 soldiers.
From there we went to the mall for some dinner and then back home. All in all, the day was a lot of fun, and a great ways to recharge the batteries.
