http://irainisrael.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

The day started out very slowly, since there was terrible traffic once again on Route 1. I made it to the New Bus Station, with its 7 levels and much cheaper but not kosher food, and explore the ...

Exploration and education, nestled in the nook of a neighborhood bully. Thursday, June 2, 2011. Everything Has a Story. Saturday I went to my. On Sunday, my family and I went to the beach. This was a fantastic opportunity to return to the heat, the coast, rickshaws, and the Taj Mahal (hotel). I nearly choked on cold water; I still don't know how to drink it after the weeks of warm or hot water in India.
