What fun! This past Friday I had the opportunity to join another of Jerusalem Scavenger Hunts' wonderful events - this time for a scavenger hunt in Jerusalem's fascinating Nachlaot neighborhood.
Just like the Old City scavenger hunt I participated in last year Tali and her crew had everything very well organized from start to finish so that all we had to do was relax and enjoy. (So much so that yet again we came in, ummm, not first. Right. Let's go with "not first". It was totally worth our ever so slightly more relaxed pace though - we got to see so many amazing details and learn so many things we'd have missed if we were really cranking up the speed...) Tali even arranged for the oh so yummy Village Green restaurant to provide bowls of hot delicious soup and freshly baked rolls for us all at the finish line.
More scenes from the neighborhood...

I can't recommend Tali and Jerusalem Scavenger Hunts enough (and not just because I just found a photo of myself with Old City teammates Lisa and Myriam in their photo gallery) - having now done two of their hunts my only real question is when is she accepting participants for the new route she'll soon be opening in Jerusalem's Yemin Moshe neighborhood! (In fact, we'll be hosting a bar mitzvah in the family next winter and I'm already planning to arrange a scavenger hunt as one of our key "where to take the visiting relatives" events!)
Thanks again Tali for another terrific time!

Nachlaot is so lovely! Great pictures:)
What a fun way to spend time! The creative detail in those murals is amazing!
Great serie of photos!
What a great place.
So interesting place to know
Wonderful to see places like this. Ancient yet seemingly at peace with the rhythms of life. I love that people have infused the area with plants and beauty.
There are so many interesting sights in this neighborhood that we can find as much art as possible - even without prompted by a hunt. I like the mural with the cat jumping off the wall...considering that a cat on the prowl is walking on the street. The feeling of life is all over Nachlaot and makes this such an engaging place!
OMG ..not possible he is going to be 13 ...
Not till next year! This year he's turning 12, we've still got a year to go :).
I like the photographer!
