Old Jaffa: Visit Jaffa

    Its streets

    This is my favourite part of Tel Aviv, maybe because it is similar to many little villages of the Mediterranean coast, maybe because its little streets are full of plants and flowers making you feel you are in one of the most romantic spots (specially if you are in good company ;-) ), maybe because it keeps its style, changing during the times as little as possible...

    Maybe that?s why Jewish and Arabs live together as peaceful as possible here
    Just go, walk.. and enjoy yourself.

    Old Jaffa: Yaffo "corners"

    Old Yafo (Yaffo, Jaffa or any other spelling) can be a delightful surprise as you wander the small winding streets and pass "corners", around each you find something new and often unexpected. The first photo shows a door made of sculpted metal. The second shows a tree planter suspended above the street. The third photo shows the ruins of the Egyptian town of Yaffo. Even though Egypt is adjacent to Israel, I had not been aware that they had a settlement here in Yaffo. The fourth photo shows the mailbox for the Vatican embassy, yes they do not have their embassy in the usual large city where all the other embassies are located, but in a side street of old Yaffo. The last photo shows a window in an abandoned club or home (not sure which) done in tinted glass, wood and iron...

    In other words it is worth taking time just to explore.

    Zohara and I joined Nathalie, Gil, Andie and Aydin for a walking tour of old Yaffo. This section is today the artists quarters and a few restaurants and studios. There is also a place where you can take a course on "wine appreciation" (gee, I appreciate it without a course ;O))
    Do this tour in Spring or Fall in cooler weather, or if you do it in summer, early morning before it gets too hot and muggy, climbing those stairs in hot weather is NOT for everyone.
    This beautiful tree in a suspended planter greets you on the street, but you will have to "wander" to find it. These are not the streets of Chicago, straight and wide and at 90 degree angles to each other, here you find a winding warren of small streets, jutting off at strange angles, climbing or plunging to other levels and even some apparently ending with nowhere to go.
