Cross Currents


    . . . in time and water often find their way back to where they once began.

 

 The beaches of Tel Aviv are much the same - perhaps just a little cleaner and more appreciated than when last visited.


As despair, revolutions and hope rise and fall in the region, the White City keeps shining brighter. Streets are jammed with all sorts of people enjoying a freedom unimaginable beyond the national borders. Students of civilization come from everywhere to study improving restaurants, viticulture, dance and theatre, making it hard for the Time Traveler to find a vacant hotel room.
Like a City in the clouds, Tel Aviv's skyline hovers above Ramallah  - as viewed from 40 kilometres away in the Palestinian hills.
