Israeli Drivers

So I don't think that I have discussed this with you before but I would like to take a minute, just sit right there, I'll tell you just how crazy Israeli drivers are. I have been to islands where you close your eyes as the taxi driver whips around the bends of mountains and you just know the cliff is a long way down, I have been to the countryside of France where the drivers don't look at the road half of the time (thank goodness there are not that many cars on the road), but in Israel, there are lots of cars and it is like the drivers are on an empty road. No signals, weaving in and out, cutting people off, honking, getting out of the car...

Did I tell you about the time that I went into Tel Aviv and when waiting for the Sherut back to Rishpon the driver got way mad and got out of the taxi yelling and screaming, shaking his hand, telling us to get out of the taxi to prove his point? Then wee all began the ride and wound up at a gas station and he told us all to get out. I had no idea if he was getting gas or dropping us off. Luckily it was just to get gas then we all got to get back in. But he was so angry that he was shaking for the first fifteen minutes of the ride.

Anyway, Israel, it has been fun but I shall not miss the roads! I know, I know, I am not leaving yet! But today was my goodbye visit to Tel Aviv.
