Sleeping on a bench, in EILAT: city of paradise
I just got back from Eilat, to visit my friends, and let me just say, that place is amazing. Its a resort city in the very south, on the Red Sea, and its beauty is surpassed only by that of the vacationers.
The first night, I slept at my girlfriends place, but apparently I hogged the bed and she did not get any sleep. This led to one of the dumbest arguments ever, and, to make a long story short, I didnt want to “intrude” again, so I tried doing what I originally planned, which was sleeping at my friends’ place. Problem is that a russian security guard makes sure no one comes in past 10, so now I segue into the second night when I was not able to enter. So my friend and I decided to stay up until 6, and we did, and we had fun, but the time came to sleep and we did, on a bench, next to a dog with no less than several thousand flies perched on his oh-so-clean fur. Flies, as we affectionately called him, and the flies that infested him, kept us company until we went back into the rooms, and slept a little more.
I’ve been to a few resort cities, but Eilat really is something special: music is playing everywhere, people are dancing everywhere…its like a big party. I tried to get a job there, but was denied for not have a work permit, as if thats really important. That leads me to where I am now, which is Netanya, in the north, where I will be kicking it with some sweet yemenites for passover.
