A return to through Carmel Market, a very busy place just before Shabbat
Part of exhibits at the Chelouche Gallery for Contemporary Art
On the second floor, the gallery 's imaginative and often whimsical works focused on "home" as the common theme.
Passport inscription:
Home is where anxiety isAfter the Chelouche Gallery, we walked to Sarona, a German farming colony established in 1871 during the time of the Ottoman empire. During the second world war, all Germans living in Palestine were interned by the British in Sarona and three other communities in Palestine. Most were expelled by the British to Australia. The last of the Germans living in Sarona were deported by the British three weeks before Israel declared independence in 1946.
Chef showing off his skills at Sarona Market.
Sarona has retained and carefully preserved the historical buildings that are found throughout the property. In recent years, the buildings have been turned into exclusive retail stores.
A bustling indoor market opened three years ago in Sarona, with unique food and excellent Israeli wines. It is well worth a visit, and it definitely felt safe.
However, we learned later that it was here, on June 6th, 2016, that two Palestinian gunmen opened fire on patrons at the Max Brenner cafe located there, killing four people and injuring seven others.
These horrific incidents, of course, happen everywhere in the world, but one could not help think of what happened entering this mall.
After our visit to Sarona, we decided that we had walked enough in the rain, so we took a Gett Taxi back to our apartment.
These girls, riding a motorized scooter that zipped by at incredible speed, had another way to get around town.
