On his first visit to Israel my son Gerald was... 5 months old! On his second - and last - visit he was not even 4 years old. I am so happy that he is here with his girlfriend Lotte! They arrived on saturday night. We spent the first days walking through Tel Aviv trying to show them as much as possible form this amazing city. And we walked a lot.... We started on Sunday with lunch at aunt Rosi. She had cooked what I had told her to be one of Ger's favourite: schnitzel! And hers is just great. After a long walk through the center of the city and a little rest we spent the evening in Florentine. Started at Piano Bar 8mm where you are always sure to get great life music. Every night! And we did. From there we went to Bugsy, a nice bar where the DJ litterally "hangs" above the crowd. We ended-up eating pizza's at Basilicum. Yesterday we went through Neve Tsedek and strolled down Sderot Rotschild amazed at all the people walking around in funny disguises. This week is Purim in Israel. A jewish holiday where everyone dresses up (sort of caranaval). And amazingly many people do, not only children! Waiters and waitresses in cafes. Some only wear a crazy wig or funny hat and others go all the way. There are parties all over town and today in Holon - a city a bit south of Tel Aviv there was a parade. But today we chose to spend at the port of Tel Aviv. It is a beautiful place with many cafes and restaurants, shops, room to bike, jog, skate. And all this with the beautiful view, noise and smell of the sea. Really nice especially since the sun was shining in a perfectly blue sky. Tonight we will discover another scene... a Cuban evening at the Havana club... very promising!
