At first, the landscape in Jaffe (old Arab City before Tel Aviv)smacks of Southern California, especially San Diego and San Ysidro. The separation wall flanking the highway from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv was surprisingly unnerving because it was so "designed" that it was antiseptic. Defensive concrete towers were built at critical locations. At some parts, the wall became a fence of triple height/double width razor wire and very military. We also passed the huge complex where Israel kept political prisoners. Scary. No highway signs provided Arabic language.
What a contrast to the day at the beach that followed!
