Spent Shabbat after Rosh Hashanah recovering on the beach in Tel Aviv. We had 3 consecutive nights of dinner with various people, starting with the Israeli-Roths on Erev RH, then parents of our house swap the second night of RH and then the best friends of the house swap for Shabbat dinner, so by Saturday we were wiped out.

So we escaped to Tel Aviv on Saturday for some sun, sand and sea. Very relaxing - Tel Aviv has a totally different feel from Jerusalem. (Although religion continues to show its face everywhere you turn). The beach next to the one we visited is billed as a 'religious' beach with strict rules governing use by men and women - separate days for each gender. It is surrounded by a 10' fence, I guess to discourage peeping Tommy or Tammy.

To paraphrase one of my guitar heroes, '..and so castles (and names) made of sand melt into the sea eventually'
