Some friends and I decided to get out of town for the end of passover. So, essentially I spent only two nights and no days in my apartment for the holiday and then some (about 9 days or so). It was a crazy week of fun – hiking, beaching, live music, good food, a wonderful seder, homes, tents, and hostels, buses, cars and hitchhiking…
So, we ended our holiday on the beach in Netanya. I hadn’t yet been to the city, and it proved to be a sweet little city right on the water. Largely made up of French and Russian immigrants. Sometimes there isn’t even Hebrew on the signs in restaurants – just French or Russian. There were crepe stands every block or less. Very different from the feel of Jerusalem. It is open, airy, condo buildings lining the beaches, modern buildings. It felt more chill. Granted that may have been because we were on a mini vacation, but still…
There was a large open central part of the city center ending on the promenade along the beach. On the holiday there were hundreds of people leisurely walking around, enjoying the nice weather and the time away from work and with their families. We happily joined them in their festive relaxation!
It was not quite warm enough to go into the water but it was still nice to be on the beach enjoying the warm sun and the cool breeze coming off of the Mediterranean.
We finished our escapade in Netanya after the holiday ended by going out and stuffing ourselves silly with ice cream, pizza and beer…oh how I love chametz. Here are some pictures.
