Arrival in a New Country

Tel Aviv, Israel
Arrived on time at 11 AM in Tel Aviv. We went through passport control which took forever due to the crowds. Got our luggage, met our tour guide Yossi and and bus driver Shimon. We were driven by bus to our hotel. The Crowne Plaza is very nice and is attached to a huge shopping mall where free internet is available. We met our tour leader Miki who oversees the group for the next two weeks. She makes sure we get our rooms, takes care of any problems and meets us at each new city as we travel. After cleaning up we walked around the mall and perused the attached market. It felt good to stretch. The temperature in Tel Aviv today was over 100 and muggy so we stayed inside. We have one more hot day projected for Thursday then it is supposed to cool off. Tonight we had a presentation about the tour then we had our first group dinner. Everyone we have met seems nice.
