Tel Aviv Beach, or I found the Pretty!!!!

Whenever I used to tell people I was from Israel, they would sometimes immediately reply "oh Israeli men are so hot" or "Israeli women are so hot", which I certainly do not argue with.

so I don't mind telling you that in the few days that I have been here, I was kind of wondering where all these hotties were hiding, why was I not seeing any of the pretty???

Keep in mind, however, that I was busy doing one of the following things (in descending order of time consumed):

1. working
2. apartment hunting (which consists of 90% being stuck in traffic in Tel Aviv or lost and 10% actually looking at apartments)
3. trying to sleep
4. catching up with family

Anyway yesterday after work I decided I was going to make use of the fact that the hotel has a beach adjacent to it and took a walk on the beach. and good news! I found the pretty! Now I'm not one to take pics of random pretty people on the beach (that would be pervy), so you'll have to use your imagination, but here is what the beach looked likeon a Wednesday afternoon:

People are playing volleyball, hanging out, etc... which leads one to ponder... doesn't the pretty need to work? I know it's summer vacation and all, but still....

This is the Tel Aviv Beach boardwalk.

So imagine my excitement when I saw the pretty people out and about. Most of the people with their shirts off had every right to be that way. And if that's how it is on a Wednesday afternoon, imagine Saturday morning, when it's national going-to-the-beach-day!

Next time... the national pasttime at the beach, and how it looks at night.
