Today we toured city of Jaffa. Jaffa is the oldest port city and helped with the creation of Tel Aviv. Today a lot of Arabs and Jews live in this area, which, besides from the Old City and touristy stuff, is very underdeveloped. The sights from the area, especially at night from Tel Aviv were absolutely stunning. We walked all around the Old City as Itzik told us all about the history of the area, stopping at some of the most perfect lookout points.
After our walking tour, we went to DOCTOR SHAKSHUKA!!! This place claims (and does) to have the best shakshuka in Israel. To all of the non-Israeli food eaters, shakshuka is a tomato/pepper based dish that is cooked with a sunny-side up egg on top. It is DELICIOUS! We had no idea that we would also be served bread with some wonderful spreads (an eggplant one that was to DIE for!), coos-coos, a stew with potatos, salad, and other delicious treats served family style. We also had delightful lemon-limeade stuff that cleansed the palate nicely. Needless to say I went home VERY full!
