I came here to rest, but this place is so exciting, I can’t help but look at every painting, every sculpture, every view from this amazing place.

iso I rested for a few minutes and then ran around, praising Yacov Richter, the original architect for his wisdom in suiting himself to this remarkable environment, and wishing I could run into Lili Elstein, who renovated this place and making it into an center for the arts as well as a hotel. A hotel that is whole. Yesterday I saw her eating dinner in the restaurant, and knew the food would be as wonderful as the place. And it was.

So sorry I will have to leave soon. Wish I could be here for at least a week.

Unfortunately we have a tv in our room, and that means we had to watch the reports given by Sara Netanyahu’s cleaners about her madness, but it also meant we could be happy with Herzog’s election as president, but it also meant we are mourning the disruption of the government. Oy, how much better we are than our politics.
