02.29.00 It was my birthday, so I decided to take the day off and go with Suzanne to the old section of Jaffa P2290001 Everyone who is anyone has spent some time there P2290005 P2290006 P2290007 P2290008 P2290009 including Andromeda P2290010 who still lives in the harbor P2290004 and still more people and legends P2290011 P2290012 including also Napoleon P2290013 who was nice enough to pose with Suzanne P2290003 and a curse. P2290014 Maybe they came for the wonderful view of Tel Aviv P2290002 or to see the Turkish clock tower P2290015 or to go to the bakery P2290016 where people line up 5 deep to get take away pastries and lunch. P2290018 Let's hope that they don't go there for the P2290017 Flea Market which isn't very good.

Later, we went out for a family dinner to celebrate my birthday. Everyone looked good P2290019 P2290020 P2290022 You can hardly tell that Benjamin's P2290021 clothes were all wet because I P2290023 P2290024 managed to spill lemonade all over him. Benjamin insisted that we tell the waiter P2290027 that it was my birthday. He was kind enough to put sparklers on our desserts P2290025 and to take a group photo. P2290026

And now I am a year (or is it 4 years?) older.
