Vignette Vacation: Israel through Photos #30

I made it 30 Days!  Woohoo!

There are so many things I love about Israel, I cannot get myself to say "The reason I love Israel is...", because there just is not one single thing.  The place as a whole makes my soul smile.  I like to explain it to those back home as if it was a perfectly casted movie--everyone in that land has a purpose and a plan for it, whatever it may be; this is right down to how cohesive interactions are that one might just think that it was all scripted.  This often ties into a "Chosen People" tangent, but I won't take you down that road.

Where I will take is to a beach in Tel Aviv, at sunset, and the man who was selected to do this was doing it quite well.

One of my favorite places in Tel Aviv is Bialik Square.  Home to a couple smaller but incredible museums, it is a nice little spot to get lost.  I got lost on there one day last June, happily next to a beautiful fountain.

Vignette Vacation: Israel through Photos #27

This is iconic Tel Aviv.  The Dan Hotel on HaYarkon Street is something that cannot be missed while in Tel Aviv.  Literally.  You can see if from basically every vantage point on the beach.  Thank goodness it's pretty.

Vignette Vacation: Israel through Photos #26

It was warm in northern Minnesota; I can't imagine what it was like in Jerusalem.  Last August, a group of children knew how to beat the heat--they spent the morning at Teddy Park.  This would have been a great way to spend today here in the northland.

Vignette Vacation: Israel through Photos #25

I loved Shabbat in Tel Aviv.  The sun dipped into the Mediterranean Sea, cooling the Tel Aviv coastline with hues of pinks and purples.  It is a great sight, and an amazing sense.

Vignette Vacation: Israel through Photos #24

I love the Azrieli Towers.  They are the adult version of that child's toy where shaped blocks were dropped into a corresponding hole.  I love the clean lines and simple design.  She's a beauty to me.

I feel fortunate to have been able to catch this marvel from the back seat and through a tinted tour bus window; I am blessed to have it clean up how it did.
