I think I already mentioned that you can drink where ever you like in Israel. Being able to bring your own beer to the beach is pretty swank. Sarah took this photo

We decided it was time for a divide an conquer day. Sarah took Akiva to the shuk where she bought some great fish but had to haggle with the fish monger about cleaning it. Sam and I took the skate board to the beautiful board walk at the renovated port. I pushed him down these great sloping bubbles that are built into the board walk. Truly the coolest and most fun boardwalk I have ever seen. They have a really amazing Friday night service in this thoroughly secular public environment led by "secular" Israelis. We spent Shabbat there and it was truly wonderful. Afterwards we had a picnic Shabbat dinner by this large sand box which is also part of the boardwalk.
