Tel Aviv - Hine Ani (Anachnu) Ba(nu)!
After a strenuous day at the municipality, Molly and Bess decided to get away to Tel Aviv for a night. Without further ado, here is Molly and Bess’s Top 5 of their “weekend” getaway:
1. Staying in a hostel! It’s been far too long since we’ve been surrounded by Canadians (note to a few classmates, you know who you are: speaking in a Canadian accent does not make you Canadian). Added bonus: we shared a room with two girls, one who is in Israel working to end the occupation, and one who just moved to Israel and joined an army program the next day. Crazy!
2. Our main motivation for going to Tel Aviv was really to get our hands on some Mexican or Thai food. When we asked people for restaurant suggestions they almost exclusively recommended falafel or schwarma. We finally settled on the restaurant Mexicana when Molly made the bold statement, “Bad Mexican food is better than no Mexican food.” As it turns out, that’s just not true.
3. Breakfast at Benedict was super yummy. Molly tried eggs benedict for the first and a half time and has concluded that french toast is always a better option.
4. Strolling through Nachalat Binyamin, the outdoor craft market! So many adorable things, so little MASA money.
5. While sitting on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea, Bess got a lovely splash of the ocean, courtesy of Molly’s water bottle.
