One Friday in TA

We started with breakfast at the Original Israeli Pancake house. Ben remembered their chocolate-chip pancake very fondly, so we went for it. The restaurand doesn't look like much on the outside, it is located by a gas station in Herzeliya. The chocolaty pancaked arrived and got drowned in a pool of maple syrup. Yummmmmmm.... :)

We then moved on to the center of TA, where between the market and the art fair on Nachlat Binyamin St. we encountered some funny guys playing a familiar instrument:

We bought some fabric at one of the tiny stuffed fabric stores on that street. Nachalat Binyamin is the street of fabric. it's funny how retailers are clustered in TA... the place for fabric is Nachlat Binyamin, bridal dresses can be found on Dizingoff, furniture on Herzel st., and so on.
The stores are tiny and cramped from floor to ceiling with rols and rols of fabric. all shapes and colors... thin and thick, old and modern, i wish i took a picture...
we were finally hungry again , so we stopped over on the way to the car and ate a cheese and spinach Borekas at the famouse "Mama's Borekas" at King George street (on the corner of "Anonymous Alley st." - "Simta Almonit". It comes with a hard boiled egg, some fresh tomato sauce and spicy stuff called "schug".
For late lunch we took home some Hummus from "Hummus Ashkara", which we demolished at home with 2 pita breads. mmmmmmmmm....

After lunch, we had our daily Hebrew lesson. Ben is doing great, learning relly fast with his new private teacher (me!!). Watch out, Dori! Ben will be ahead of you in no time at all!!!

We wnded this perfect day with a run in the park. It started getting cooler lately, and even rained a little... but the clouds makes the sunsets so beautiful.

I'm still full this morning. The chocolate chips on the pancakes are like super-concentrated evil. I could barely finish the whole them.

I didn't want chocolate again all day. That's powerful.

Ben? It is hard to believe that you had some difficulties to finish a dish of chocolate.I see that the more Hebrew you know the less chocolate you can have.
Tell me when you are ready for another corse of chocolate.I will come to help with the leftovers.

An interesting analog:

chocolate = super concentrated evil

and I thought only dermatologist say that.
