Day 5--Tel Aviv

Cousins Jeff and Wendy took me on a great trip to Tel Aviv today.  We caught a train from Netanya and were in Tel Aviv twenty minutes later.  We started at the Carmel Market.


One thing I've noticed, not just at this market but all over, is fresh juice stands.  The juice is very yummy!



And tons of flavors of Halavah.


We then walked over to the Nachalat Binyamin handicraft market.  There were all kinds of arts and crafts being sold by the artists.





As in Netanya, there are also some beautiful murals painted on the sides of buildings.



I think the highlight of the day was the amazing lunch Wendy and Jeff treated me to.  It was at the restaurant of a famous chef and I had two of the best eggplant dishes I've ever tasted.





This is one the best eggplant (and fish) I've ever had.  Mullet and eggplant in red curry.


We ended the day with a beautiful Israeli Cabernet and cheese.
