POST HEART TO HEART MISSION:
The city of Tel Aviv is made up of a disparate group of neighborhoods. There's the ancient stone-wall section high on a bluff, known for 4,000 years as Jaffa. There's the funky first-settlement outside of Jaffe called Neve Tzedek (known for boutiques, designers and celebrity restaurants). There's the Mediterranean Sea-lapped section of high-rise hotels, nightclubs, beaches and Old Port filled with restaurants and art markets. A few blocks inland the Bauhaus building lined neighborhood is nicknamed the "White City."
After a very scheduled five days, all we wanted to do was meander and explore at least some of these areas of Tel Aviv, and here are some memories:

Back in town, we decided to ignore the blight created by the garbage strike (Israelis fight for wage hikes just like everyone else), and shopped on trendy Shenkin Street. We popped into jewelry shops, cheap clothing stores, a "Purim" costume shop and spent a few shekels for a terrifically fresh smoothie;
