From the Ayalon Institute, we went to Tel Aviv, the largest city in Israel, which is also the cultural and economic center of the country. We went to the Azrieli shopping mall and towers. Our visit started with a trip to the 49th floor where we could see Tel Aviv in every direction. This picture faces to the southwest with the old city of Jaffa in the background. 
Then we were released for 90 minutes of free time in the mall. I knew that we had a hearty band of shoppers on the trip, but I didn’t know exactly how hearty until they started asking about “anchor stores” and checking out the way the merchandise was displayed in the windows.
I was content at first to just check out the eating options at the food court, but then I remembered my wife’s request: some nice jewelry to compensate her for 10 long days without me. I even found a store that exclusively sells the work of her favorite Israeli designer, Michal Negrin. What did I get for her? I can’t tell you before she sees it herself, but Elinor, Donna and Judith all gave their nod of approval before I completed the purchase.
