By the time we arrived at 5:15 p.m Israel time and gathered our belongings, the sun had already gone down, but we were able to get a taste of Tel Aviv nightlife (our tour guide, Nathan, pointed out a famous Israeli singer who was dining at a table near us at the trendy Meatos Restaurant) and catch glimpses of the Bauhaus style of architecture for which the city is famous.
It should be a fascinating contrast to the city that's first on Friday's agenda. Jaffa (Joppa) sits next to Tel Aviv along the Mediterranean sea, but while Tel Aviv is just over a century old, Jaffa is an ancient Port city. It is known, among other things, as the location where St. Peter restored the disciple Tabitha to life. We will also be visiting Caesarea and Haifa before heading to Nazareth.
I will be sharing all of our adventures daily here at OSV Daily Take, and you can also follow me on Twitter: shayes@OSV.
