Hello lovely people going to make this v quick as is v late and am going to attempt to get up at a reasonable hour tomorrow and go to Jerusalem having failed miserably again today to get up before noon. In fairness to me we were up til gone 4 last night dancing round in a gay club so hardly my fault. We also had a delicious Georgian meal including lots of yummy aubergine based snacks, breaded calamari stuffed with mushrooms and very yum meat pilaf. Installment 2 of Hebrew Hotties though is that surprisingly, and very much in opposition to London trends; gay men in Irael are seemingly not as good looking as straight ones! Who knew?!
So, today wasn't as sunny or hot as yesterday so spent the first hour or so (ie 1pm oops) n Carmel market supposedly buying people gifts but actually buying myself a nice necklace - fuck all you guys haha. Then i had the nicest lunch ever outside in a cafe with a random old woman who shared the table with me. It was an Iraqi sandwich which was on dark dark bread with fried aubergines, sliced boiled eggs, gherkins and this creamy sauce and it came with a huge chopped salad, which they are obsessed with here (a good thing in my book) and a dish of olives. Yum. They also serve their cold coffees with sugar water which in my head sounds romantic and exotic. Drinking cold coffee also makes me think am Gregory Peck in Roman Holiday which is defo a good thing. Then looked round Yaels gallery which was excellent but alas i don't have the booklet and therefore can't remember any of the artists names. There was some damn good stuff with collage though rach take note. And cool revolving glass things projecting images onto the walls. - sorry yael that's a crap description i know but am knackered. Then after that I went to the Tel Aviv Art Museum/Museum of Art which was ace and had loads of really really beautiful Fauve stuff. I had forgotten totally about the Fauves I must admit and it had totally escaped me how much I LOVE them. Also lots of cubist stuff and general fab post impressionism and oddly this pitch back room filled with all these doll house rooms done up in the interior styles of various eras of history - I enjoyed it but definitely odd.
Major dissapointment is that even though i am on my HOLIDAYS, ABROAD, I couldnt find any of the obligatory transparent bags of really greasy crinkle cut crips that i adore and are the man reason for me having holidays. Oh well. Did have yum dinner with Yael and her lovely fried Liz of Moroccan fish spicy style stew on couscous. Lastly you can smoke in bars here!!! It's illegal but everyone ignores it - fab!!!! Wish me luck getting to Jerusalem tomorrow may just try and get a cab to the bus station but dont have a number?! Miss you Meadway.
