We returned to the hotel for some packing or, for those who had gotten a jump on their packing the night before, for a final shopping trip to the Old City or Ben Yehudah street in West Jerusalem.
We boarded the bus and drove to the Haas Promenade, an outlook directly south of the Old City of Jerusalem from which, in the growing twilight of the day, we could see all of the city as it has grown and as it inspires today the fervor of three world religions. From there, we went to a delicious dinner at the Olive and Fish Restaurant, and then on to the airport for our 11:25 PM departure.
If, by the way, you wish to have an account of the security inspections and interrogations that we underwent before we departed Israel on Wednesday night, we are pretty certain that any one of us could give you a question-by-question description. Suffice to say that we felt very secure in boarding a place in Tel-Aviv.
