July 5th , Sunday, Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in a relatively short time....

We left for Tel Aviv after having breakfast at the same restaurant as yesterday.  We meant to eat elsewhere but the Hotel's map was confusing and we were very hungry.  Like the movie "Trains, Planes, and Automobiles" we traveled by taxi, bus, and another taxi to arrive at the Ramada Hotel in Jerusalem where I proceeded to unpack and hope to catch up on some sleep.  We walked from the hotel to a sort of a mall and movie complex called "Cinema City", movie theaters, restaurants (see the picture of the Kosher McDonald's) and a lot of stores like you see in American malls.  What was very noticeable was the large number of children, which is a common sight all over Israel.  The other pictures are of modern Jerusalem from our hotel balcony, one shows the light rail system that runs across the city.

Tomorrow and Tuesday (July 6th and 7th will be of the Old City of Jerusalem)
