Tel Aviv

I've got to tell you about my trip to Tel Aviv last Sunday (we have church on Saturdays in sync with the Jewish Shabbat). We left the Jerusalem Center at 9 am in vans and headed to the Mediterranean which was about an hour drive. The beach was so absolutely gorgeous that it was all I could do to keep from running to the sand!

We spent a few hours playing in the ocean which was unbelievably warm. The Pacific has nothing on the Mediterranean! It was fun to see all the locals surfing the waves, which weren't as strong or consistent as the ones in California, but still worth riding. A few guys from our group rented boards and tried it out. Sure looked like they were having a blast!

A little after lunch time we decided to go explore the city. We walked past the big shoreline hotels and found a cool farmer's market there. They had everything from fresh produce to cleaning supplies to clothes and plenty of souvenirs! 

Naturally there were sunburns-galore the next few days, but it was so worth it! We had the best day there. 
The days are long and super busy, but we are having such a great time!
