Back to the Old Country....
I had a wonderful feeling in my heart when I stepped off the plane in Israel. I had never visited my sister's home there.

   

Arrival at Ben Gurion
My sister, Barbara and me after a day of flying
Almost to Kefar Sava, where Barbara and her family live
View from Barbara's apartment
Barbara and Danit, her youngest
Street in Kefar Sava
In her art studio
Some of her work
Her Intifada work. A big canvas about 10' x 6'
Natali, her eldest, has been in the army for 18 months.
At a small checkpoint
Driving in Kefar Sava
On the way to Tel Aviv
The old port town of Jaffa
Bubie and Zuidie
Interior courtyard
Old buildings
It was fun walking around
It seems life here hasn't changed in many years
Two Israeli girl soldiers in the Old City
Street view of the vendors
Would you buy this wonderfully overpriced piece from him?
Tired of walking
So many sights and sounds
Inside an old collectibles shop
Rug makers
Coke is everywhere in every language
Taking a break
Stroll along the beachfront towards Jaffa
Towards Tel Aviv
The streets of Tel Aviv
L'chaim at a beachfront restaurant
Israeli soldier out with his two girlfriends. One came to the bathroom
Hebrew grafitti, apparently telling of the messiah
Tel Aviv beachfront drive
Huge apartment buildings by the dozen are under construction all over
