4/2/2011 - The Israel Museum

The best way to spend Shabbat afternoon - other than a good nap - is going to a museum and the newly reopened Israel Museum has a great collection of art work in various media.  While waiting for cabs to the museum we took in the flowers in the garden in front of the hotel.

Once we arrived at the museum, we regathered as a group to look at the large model of the Old City and the Dead Sea Scrolls in the Shrine of the Book.

This is where we'll meet up at 4p.

Take a hand.

Good to the core.

Darren's new love.

Yes they are sprinkling the roof - keeps it cool and clean.

Gary stayed at the museum, but I took advantage of an early departure to return to the hotel and prepare for our dinner and long flight home.
