Marti & Jeffrey in Israel Part II

Sunday, Saul spent the morning by the pool and then took a bus back to Jerusalem, while Liz, Marti and Jeff went off across the Israel/Jordanian border to visit the lost city of Petra.

Monday Liz, Marti and Jeff visited a kibbutz, drove through and then visited the top of Makhtesh Ramon (a large crater) and
then had lunch in Be'er Sheva.

We arrived safely in Tel Aviv to enjoy the sunset over the Mediterranean and then dined at Pastis on the famous Rothschild Boulevard (fabulous food - we highly recommend it!). Tuesday was spent visiting our cousins, Shimshon & Rivka Eden, who now live in Tel Yitzhaq a retirement community near Netanya. Here is Marti with them at lunch.

Tuesday afternoon Liz, Marti and Jeff explored Neve Tzedek the hip, happening community that is in Southern Tel Aviv right next door to Jaffa. Saul rejoined the "tour" on Tuesday evening. We ate at another terrific place called Caremella.
