Media@aarp.My 5th or 6th new life is beginning. Traveling as a senior, take the challenge. Couples yes but  unattached  seniors can see the same sights as the millenniums exception being we have the gift of experience and life acquired wisdom to sightsee and travel.To use an old cliche, "LIFE IS AN ADVENTURE NOT JUST A DESTINATION "

#TBEXpost traveling,Masada,TelAviv,thank you.
Grateful for children, grandchildren. Now is my turn. Mature adults can do it all. Think positive, smile, be polite and say Todah when an Israeli soldier offers you a seat on the crazy light rail. #jerusalem

What a day. Jerusalem light rail is easy to follow, learn to push when you want to get on and off, it's like being rebirthed. Today's tour, Jerusalemites, led by Dorit Graiver, met at Aroma Coffee #'26 in Machaneh Yehudah Shuk then to a theatrical stop at Uzi-Eli-The Esrog Man. Walked through the neighborhood of Nahlaot viewing the older homes with placards outside of some of the homes showing a picture of the original family who lived there and their history. Invited into orthodox home by Ariel Oren, wife of Chabbad Rabbi

My thoughts begin with the young at heart traveling, or should I contact AARP?   Today we toured The Old City walking the cobbled streets of the Jewish, Muslim, Armenian and Christian merchants and stood at the convergents of the four religious communities. Appropriately dressed in long black skirts and long sleeves we were part of " Frozen  in Time" tour of the Mea-Shearim community, the orthodox and the  ultra orthodox neighborhoods. Narrow pavements, hustling Yeshiva students, mothers with baby carriages, horns honking (cold and windy tonight) and samples of well known bakeries and eateries, "see below":  Kudoos to Yana Milinervsky tour guide.
Avichail Bakery, Maadanei Hadar, Daitsh, Helman Bakery - chicken soup, gefilte fish, kugels, bagels and danish.

My travel adventures and blogging begins and my friendship continues with Christy Prosser, a 23year friendship from Camp. To paraphrase, life is an adventure, not just a destination. The impetus was a trip to Israel, my first. And here it is March and off we go.
