Tel Aviv touring and the Diaspora Museum

Well no luggage as of this morning (bruce is so callllmmmmm!!!!! hmmmmm!!!!) Breakfast in Isreal is the BEST!!!!! For sure - we slept late after being up half the night tracking our luggage.  Took a tour of city by bus which for almost two hours showed us all the highlights - then we went back to the Diaspora Museum this museum


"This unique museum  tells the ongoing and extraordinary story of the Jewish people connecting  Jewish people to their roots and strengthens their personal and collective Jewish identity.  conveys to the world the fascinating narrative of the Jewish people and the transcending essence of the Jewish culture, faith, purpose and deed while presenting the contribution of world Jewry to humanity."


We actually toured this museum for over three hours - we found it enlightening and so worth the trip. We saw lots of examples of synagogues from the past 200 years and got a glimpse of the horrors of the terror of WWII.  


 Got back to the hotel and the hunt was again on for our luggage.  We made fast friends with the concierge of our hotel and alas he found our luggage - (love him) and right now we re sitting in our room looking at our luggage with about five different tags from everywhere we were supposed to have been - including room 503 Dan Hotel Tel Aviv!!!!  Yeah!
