Cruise ship style breakfast buffet, except better
Took bus to Israel museum. Never really made it inside as just on the outskirts of the museum we saw a model of the old city as it looked 2000 years ago in King Herold’s time. Fascinating hearing about the history of the old city. Learned an interesting fact about why the windows on the Knesset are so small. Too keep snipers from shooting leaders.
Our tour guide Koren, then told us the story of the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls. TMI to write here. Ask me if you see me one day. We then viewed the actual scrolls including the intact book of Isaiah.
Lunch at Aroma. 1st cup of real coffee in 2 days, the fog has lifted. Laura had a diet coke, Rachel pasta. Try ordering plain pasta with butter from this small crowed café! My parents went with Michael for a burger and Tommy had French fries with David Sommer.
Late afternoon we headed over to the Dan for Rachel, JJ and David’s Bar Mitzvah ceremonies. Our daughter never looked more radiant and we were beaming with pride! Rachel was well prepared by Grandma Cookie.
Dinner at Colony then we strolled down Ben Yehuda Street for the Saturday nite scene.
