Took the bus with Tamar up to the border of Egypt and Israel. We went through the border where I was asked "how long do you plan on staying in Israel". I answered "not sure" and that led to a lengthy delay. But I was finally able to explain my loose travel plans and they let me enter the country. Tamar and I hitched a ride to Eilat to meet up with our friend Julio, a Spaniard we met in Goa. We spent a few days in Eilat seeing the sights and enjoying 1st world living of a nice hotel. We then flew up to Tel Aviv.

3-D Sea
We checked out the IMAX theater in Eilat so Tamar could get the sensation of scuba diving without having to put on the gear and get wet.
Apparel Demise
My trusty shorts made it all the way to Israel but finally gave out in Eilat. I left them behind after a saying a few parting words.
