Day seven was our day trip to Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv is a beach/port town on the Mediterranean Sea. It was hot... and very humid. I like the weather in Jerusalem much better because there is no humidity. We took a bus because there was some problem with the train; it took about an hour. Once in Tel Aviv, we ate at McDonald's... which had far superior food to our McDonald's in the States. In Israel, all the cattle is raised to Kosher standards. As such, the beef produced is excellent. And yes, it does make a difference, even in a McDonald's hamburger.
We took a local bus to the historic port of Jaffa, now just a suburb of Tel Aviv. Jaffa port dates to the crusader period and is being restored as a quaint place to live and for tourists to eat and shop.
We then taxied back to Tel Aviv to go to the beach. The beach was excellent. Sand as soft as baking flour, the water very warm. We swam some, and relaxed in the lounge chairs at the beach restaurant, eating humus.
