First visit to Israel

I landed last night in Tel Aviv in my first trip to Israel. Except for the use of Hebrew everywhere, the city pretty much resembled many other urban European towns I've visited. There weren't as many people walking about as I would have expected for a Saturday night. We went to a very nice restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean. My seafood casserole was delicious. The weather here is very mild--about 70 degrees with little humidity and a slight breeze.

Tomorrow, I head out to for a visit of Jerusalem and Bethlehem, which I think will be neat considering the time of year. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures and post them here.

Shalom.
