Day 9: Tel Aviv

Great day in Tel Aviv! OK, slow start at the Diaspora Museum, but great shopping at the Carmel Market afterward. The boys showed off their bargaining skills in the Jewish shuk, so be prepared for lovely gifts from Eretz Yisrael. Scavenger Hunt followed, "the Great Race" leading teams of a dozen kids around the streets of Tel Aviv. Lots of walking eating drinking talking laughing. Finished at Maccabi national center in Ramat Gan (Tel Aviv suburb) for dinner and grinding, er, dancing. Many of the delegations flew home tonight--we are staying an extra day and Alex Sachs, our fearless Delegation Head, scored us a private bus trip to...MASADA & the DEAD SEA!!! Kids are totally psyched, as the entire Maccabi group was originally traveling down to the lowest point on earth, but the trip was scuttled. Somehow it is back on for about 4 delegations, including ours. We'll leave the Dead Sea, shower, eat at Burger Ranch, and head straight to the airport....
