I totally forgot to write about Yad Vashem yesterday. That's the Israeli Holocaust museum. It has much of the same stuff as the DC one, but it's built like a prism and overlooks the beautiful Jerusalem countryside. It also has a few more extra exhibitions like a children's memorial, but I didn't get a chance to go to that one. I walked through a little faster than I would have liked, but I've seen much of it before.

| Yad Vashem |
Anywho, today I'm in Tel Aviv, and it is absolutely beautiful! My hostel
is on the beach, and though I froze taking a dip in the Mediterranean,
it was nice to lay out and read
Pride and Prejudice. I took a
long stroll along the beach before dinner - gee don't I sound romantic?
The weather was perfect, and I felt like a typical tourist in my linen
pants, sweater, mojito, and carefree attitude. Alas, no tall, dark,
handsome man wanted to walk in the moonlight, but I had my Mr.
Darcy...guess I can't complain too much ;)

| I swam in the Mediterranean here. Obviously this is posted after I got back, but you see that barrier of rock in the background? A mortar sent by Hamas landed just on the other side of it. Just a bit too close for comfort. |
