Floating in Saltwater

On Friday I drove to Beersheva with the my friend Michal and stayed at Nadan's house. The following day we drove to the Dead Sea and floated in saltwater. The weather was perfect, and we were far from alone, as much of the Israeli population makes its way to popular vacation spots such as these (others include Turkey and Greece) during the busy Passover holiday.

We had a great time. That night we returned to Tel Aviv and ate at a fantastic Arabic restaurant in Old Jaffa called The Old Man and the Sea, which to our delight was serving homemade Laffa (a sort of tortilla/pita) despite the restrictions on bread or any kind of flour-containing-food. The fish was amazing, but the really cool part were the twenty or so salads spread before us on the table, which included three kinds of tehina, two kinds of Turkish salad, pickles, olives, radishes, sauerkraut, breaded cauliflower, humus, pickled carrots, leeches, all of it homemade.

The last couple days have seen me studying hard for the GMAT test. I also managed to download (again as a torrent) the audio version of Rich Dad Poor Dad, which I listened to in its entirety in four hours. Pretty interesting.

That's about all that's been happening. Today was finally the last day of Passover and I ate Pizza to celebrate.
