Steinbergs in Israel - Eilat roundup & Tel Aviv arrival

Good morning, we're in Tel Aviv! Can't believe we've been here 3months and its our first time here. It's certainly a different 'climate' in many respects. For starters its a city. A real, big, humming, city. Haven't been in one of those for a while - can't say i miss it either. The other aspect of climate is that it's been raining since we arrived last night and its 5-10 degrees cooler than we've been used to - a bit of a welcome change...
Our apartment is very nice. We have 2 bedrooms plus a living room/kitchen. The main b'room is up a flight of stairs and connected to a large rooftop balcony which looks out over the city (nice if you like bauhaus - lots of bauhaus). We're staying in the Dizengoff Suites which is very central, on the corner of D'off&Gordon Sts.
We're going to take it easy in TA. Over the next 7 days we'll see the Palmach museum, Holon Institute, Jaffa, if possible Haifa, and visit some family/friends. Parking is atrocious, so if someone has any ideas...

Just having b'fast downstairs now with Gittel. I'll write later with the Eilat roundup...

Love us.
