Day Five--The Art Market and Neve Tzedek


Every Tuesday there is an art market on Nachalat Binyamin next to where HaCarmel is.  After eating breakfast we walked over here to see what was for sale.  Emily was in the market for a necklace and maybe earrings.  She also found the jeweler who she bought a ring from two years ago and showed him she was still wearing it.




We had fun walking down the street stopping to look at all the different vendors.







At the end of the street we continued to Neve Tzedek, which is the oldest jewish part of Tel Aviv that has been and continues to be revitalized.








Now it has extremely expensive and very fashionable clothing boutiques, hip restaurants and of course many gelaterias.





  Near the end of Shabazi is the Suzanne Della Dance Center where the Bat Sheva Dance company lives.  We went in to see if there might be a performance this week.  We were lucky enough to find one the next night and bought two tickets.
The girl we bought the tickets from told us that if we ate at the restaurant Dellal we would receive a free appetizer.  Sounded good to us.  So we made a reservation.



At the end of Shabazi Street you are near the beach close to Jaffa.  We crossed the street to walk along the beach.  It's just so easy to do.  We went to check out the restaurant Manta Rea, where we were suppose to eat with several others that evening and decided it was too expensive for the students who would be joining us.  We had a lovely walk back to our hotel and saw yet another beautiful sunset.
