Greetings:
The hotel included breakfast at your choice of three local restaurants, two of which are closed on the Sabbath. We ate among local Israelis and the food was good but with different eating customs. In Israel it is common to have vegetables or a salad with breakfast. Tea might be served in a glass which gets hot so you can only lift it by the topmost portion of the glass. After breakfast we walked around an old area and then went to a shopping area which had old and new buildings and was originally established by a German immigrant in the early part of the 20th Century.
In the evening we were picked up by our Cousin and his wife and they took us to a seafood restaurant on the Mediterranean Sea in Tel Aviv. Outside the restaurant is a park that runs along the beach for a long ways and the people of Tel Aviv relax and picnic on the grass until late in the evening. The photo shows a bit of modern Tel Aviv with construction cranes in the background and an old structure built by early German immigrants to Pre-Statehood Israel.
