This recent trip to Tel Aviv with a little side excursion to Jerusalem, left me with an abundance of pictures. These are really worthy places for taking pictures. On the other hand aren’t all my destinations worthy of this? Anyway, just the thrill of being again in a city with a beach makes me happy. The salt in the air and the sand beneath my feet brings out the best vacation feeling! And hopefully this shines through in the pictures. We had a great time in Israel! Yours, Pollybert
