Jaffa or Yafo, an ancient port city just south of Tel-Aviv, is thought to be the oldest ports in the world. DH and I spent the day there, mostly eating and sightseeing, but of course I couldn't pass up the deals in Shuk Hapishpeshim either.

ReplyDeleteI love it!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job capturing Yafo. I live about 10 minutes (driving) from there, and the man and I often go when we can't think of anything else to do. :-P
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe!
