Once again we visit Basel, a small hidden neighborhood in the north of central Tel Aviv. Great to meet up with friends and grab a bite to eat.

The Carlton Hotel is located right behind the Marina. This is the closest section of beach just 30 feet or so from its entrance. It offers breakfast on a rooftop above this cafè giving a brilliant morning view to the hotel's guests.

Three of my favorite things to do in Tel Aviv, sitting in a cafè, strolling along the streets, and people watching. This photo captures all three of these at once.

At the end of Ben Gurion Boulevard below Atarim Square sits the active Tel Aviv Marina, which is just beyond Gordon Pool. The marina is home to a couple hundred boats and even a few people living in their Cabin Cruiser or cabined sailboat.

Tel-o-fun (a play on the Hebrew word for bike - ofanaim and Tel Aviv) is the municipal program for bike rental. These days the motorized two wheel scooters are way more popular. Though bikes for rent are still around. Bring your drivers license or ID.

Tel Aviv is chock full of lots of things, in this case were talking about funky trees with what seem to be roots wrapped around them. A quick internet search names them as the Bengali Ficus, "the tree produces propagating roots that grow downwards as aerial roots. When the roots reach the ground they grow into trunks."

Ben Gurion Boulevard and Dizengoff Road is the beating heart of Tel Aviv. Day or night any day of the week it is packed with people. With restaurants and bars as far as they eye can see, and the beach just a few short blocks away. Tamara juice bar is a popular stop for many and a common meeting point.

Sarona, the neighborhood with a rich history, has many picturesque locations. This one is coming out of the 21st century mall at the Sarona Azrielli building, looking into the historic neighborhood with new construction overshadowing old Templar houses converted into offices and restaurants.

Almost all buildings in this photo are new construction. Its on the border of aTel Aviv, across from the Alozoroff train station next to Tzomet Elite. An intersection named after the building that housed the Elite chocolate company from which for decades the delightful smell of chocolate would be in the air.

Seeing palm trees everywhere makes you feel like you're in paradise. And Tel Aviv is packed with palm trees. Its also packed with coffee shops, restaurants, beautiful people and so much more.

I have a friend from Hungary who once said there's nothing like going out every day and seeing palm trees. It makes you feel like you're in paradise. And Tel Aviv is packed with palm trees. Its also packed with coffee shops, restaurants, beautiful people and so much more.

As the days go by and I post more photos, I see themes developing. Architecture, Bauhaus, bicycles, graffiti, and the beach! I love the sight of the sun umbrellas and chairs lined up in wait for bathers. And I love the beach.

Not far from Hashalom train station, there's a small street with a gas station, bus stop, and further in small children's park and mall. That street is Tozeret Ha'aretz or in English, Made in Israel!

The burning orange sunsets only happen when there are clouds in the sky. As the summer marches on there are less and less clouds, and no rain for 8 months! This is a remote shot of Tel Aviv from the east.

The secret to socializing in Tel Aviv is having a dog to walk. Great conversation starter, sometimes the dogs do all the work for you. This guy was taking a break from his socializing duties.
