Three cool places I was "seen at" over the last three weeks.... topping the list is Jerusalem. I really loved the place, but the traffic situation sucks ... the photograph was taken while sitting at an outdoor cafe on the hillside, which also happened to be one of the places where the movies of the Jerusalem Film Festival were being screened... Yep! I was there!! :-)
Coming in from the desert, it was a nice change to see a beautiful city nestled in the hills. I walked around the Old City, took photographs with the 10,000 other tourists so I could fulfill my touristy obligations... the good time I had was at the Film Festival... could catch two wonderful movies... One was Yasmin and the other was called "the Double Life of Eva" ... lovely movies, both...
After spending a day, I reached the conclusion that I am not the sightseeing kind... even in the "holiest of the holy" cities of the world, I preferred to push up my legs and chill!! aah...
In all this, I missed the last bus from J'salem to Be'er Sheva and my good friend S was kind enough to drive me to Tel Aviv so I could catch the last bus from there ... this is one aspect of Israeli life that I find fascinating.... the country is so small that one can traverse from one end to the other in the time it takes me to go from Boston to New York!! It never ceases to amaze me ... the next time I come here, I am going to drive all around, endangering pedestrian life, in the tradition of Israeli drivers!!
