Only a small amount of snow overnight but a lot of wind. You'll see tree branches and stuff blown around in my photos as well as some mounds of snow. Today was a day of constantly changing weather -- pouring rain, a little sleet, sunshine, wind, light rain -- wait about 10 minutes and it will change.
After another Israeli breakfast, we walked up to the Old City to take a few photos with snow. We then walked to the Israel Museum. You'll see some photos of the Knesset which is across the street from the museum. This is the Israeli equivalent of the Capital. The museum is huge -- we only saw a few exhibits today. Kate and I will go back on Saturday to see more. My photos include some modern artwork, an exhibit on old glass, the oldest masks in the world, Byzantine gold, "Dress Codes -- Revealing the Jewish Wardrobe", and some more.
After hiking back to the hotel we snacked on pita and hummus and then went with Ruthi (SIL) to our cousin Ahuva's apartment down the block. Just a quick cup of tea so Ruthi could say goodbye as other cousins were coming to pick her up and take her to Tel Aviv (they'll be back on Sunday to get us)..
Kate and I then wandered around the shopping areas, ending with a lovely dinner at Cafe Cafe. We both had pasta dishes and, because we walked a total of 11 miles today, dessert.
Forecast is for more rain/snow overnight and snow showers in the afternoon. Hopefully that will not affect things and the places we want to go will be open.
