The breakfast fare
Is great up here
And the balcony view
Really helps too.
The new hotel has a smaller, but better breakfast selection. It's also much more vegetarian friendly. A wider array of fruits and vegetables was presented. Also, a much better tea selection was available. I haven't eaten this much watermelon and dates in a long time. The eighth (9th for USA) floor balcony makes for an impressive backdrop with its view of the city.
The day's tours were heavy, with visits to Mt. Hertzl, the Israeli equivalent of Arlington National Cemetery, and Yad Vashem, the national Holocaust memorial.
Dinner, though, was much less taxing. We went to a literary restaurant that served primarily vegetarian fare. I had the quinoa salad, the pear and arugula salad, and the beet salad, sprinkling the tahini on all three. All the salads were tasty, with contrasting textural elements and tastes. Sweet was balanced by tart, smooth by crunchy. They were well balanced and great to chase with a cup of wild berry tea.
Afterwards, as I wandered through the market, I picked up some dried pineapple. I opted for the I've without the added sugar and was met by a sweet and chewy, but not excessively so, fruit. With that and another watermelon frozen pop, the day drew to a relaxing end.
