After having spent the weekend in Jerusalem, I was ready to return to Tel Aviv. The warm breezes of the hills of Jerusalem made me think of spending some time at the sea. I drove the TA-Jerusalem highway in less than an hour and was on my way to the shore. Parking is always a hassle at the beach, but I drove into an underground lot along the row of hotels lining the seaside. Residents of Tel Aviv can be seen at the beach any time of day or well into the evening. Of course, summers bring out young people, families and children so it can be difficult to find a spot in the sand. For a small fee, one can reserve a lounge chair and an umbrella. Bathrooms are easily accessible. Often groups of people are clustered together, young and old. The sun is strong, so sunscreen and hats are a must. Ice cream vendors and trinket sellers abound. It's definitely a lively scene. People of all ages can be seeing playing "matkot", a game similar to table tennis without the table. The clatter of balls against wooden rackets is heard everywhere. It seems to be the national summer game of Israel at the seashore.
