Despite my late arrival, rose early
For my first full day here in Israel
Woke at 7 and tried the Israeli
Breakfast. Fried eggs were nice, but salad hell
First task, to get cheap clothes at the Carmel
Market, then explored the artisans' stalls
Went up Shalom Tower, the view was real
Cool. Then, Neve Tzedek, suburb where all
Began, up Eilat Street to Jaffa. Call
From the minaret heard. Now saw the sea
And the white beach close up. Walked for a mile
Back up to Tel Aviv, a brief paddle
And a good sunbathe. I now feel sleepy
Might try to rest, rehearse my song. We'll see!
