Night out in Tel Aviv

So, on the night that everything was closing early for the Independence Day holiday, Beth and I went home for a nap (that I had the hardest time getting up for) and we started the night at Julie's apartment - Beth knew Julie through a friend from home, Julie is originally from Boston Hollerrrrr. As usual, the normal chatter of "so, what do you do for work?" started off the conversation and ended in fascination with our job. It's hard not to believe that our job isn't quite as glamorous as it seems. We swear, but I can't deny that some of it is.

After some conversation and a drink or two, we headed out to the square where we were greeted by fireworks and music in hebrew. It was fun, but now the fireworks were over and listening to music in hebrew isn't as great as it sounds, so I was getting bored. And hungry. So I grabbed a sandwhich and tried to rally up in preparation to go out out.

First, we went to a club situated on the rooftop of a mall. At one point, Beth started talking to the club promoter who thought it was funny to pour his drink over her head. So, Beth ordered a new one and the bartender got really mad when Beth said that the promoter was going to pay for the drink but then refused. So, he told Beth to get the F out of there. I was so confused. But we complained to the bartender inside and got ourselves some free drinks, so it all worked out, aside from Beth's wet head.

Then, we continued to spew our dislike for the outside bartender to some other random guys we met. We decided it was necessary to drown the sorrow in some pizza. We all got in the same taxi and the hebrew exchange of words ended us up at their house instead of a pizza place. After no food and multiple tries to get me into his bedroom, we left around 6 am. We walked to find food (who would have thought at 6am?) and found a pizza place open with amazing pizza and more men whom we shared the story of our night with. Then, we went home and finally went to bed, around 7:30 am. I awoke around 12 to a beautiful day, beautiful beach and an air show outside my window - and spent the rest of the day on the beach in Tel Aviv. What a life!
