The Streets of Tel Aviv

This morning we split up into four groups with colored bandanas to distinguish the groups.  The overall goal was to travel Tel Aviv on foot for over 2 1/2 hours to learn more about Tel Aviv and pick out various landmarks.   Groups were given scavenger-hunt-style clues and had to find information along the way.  Each clue led to a location where the next clue could be found. In addition, we were instructed to find various people along our route--twins, an ultra-Orthodox Jew, an IDF soldier, a person with tattoos and piercing (Gothic) and so on. When we found each of these, we took a picture with that person. Most groups had difficulty finding an IDF soldier until we reached our final destination (Independence Hall).  Many group salso had trouble finding an ultra-Orthodox Jew.  The group I was with did not see one throughout our journey but were able to find a tattoo parlor and a couple "Gothics."  The overall goal was to gain a better sense of Tel Aviv, and our adventure in the morning help set the tone.  Jamie, our guide, asked us how Tel Aviv looked to us. Since this was the first city built by Jews in 2000 years, is this the city we wanted it to be?  The morning's adventure was the beginning of examining this question.
