TEL-AVIV & JAFFA DAY 134 MEMMORIAL DAY 88km.

The Jewish holidays start in the evening and end the following evening. So at 8pm the sirens go off and evryone stops for two minutes in rememberance of the fallen soldiers, police and firemen.

I arrived in Jaffa early and just walked around the old town and then up the promenade along the coast to Tel-Aviv.

At 11am the sirens went off and everyone stops in their tracks, traffic even stops and people climb out their cars and stand in silence.

    JAFFA

This evening Memorial Day ended and Independence day started, 75 years. We went to the village where they have a big celebration with dancing and fireworks. So in the morning everyone is crying and then in the evening you have to be smiling and happy for Indepence Day, rather strange but was priveledged to have experience all these celebrations.

Tomorrow I will head to Jordan, down to the southern border at Eliot and cross there.
