Then to top off this healthy meal, we went to Famous 4th street deli to get cookies. Both of these places are essentials to everyone visiting or living in Philadelphia.
Israel: Pita bread with zatar smeared all over it.
Israel (Ophares): Chicken schnitzel with fries in pita
My staple at breakfast - 2 bars with plain yogurt and another cereal of the week.
Quick Burger consumed on Nov 17th, 2007. It is a Belgium chain.
Pain De Bois. Probably the best tasting and healthy bread I've had.
My attempt at making my stir fry taste good. The Indian touch did the trick.
Apple Turnover?
Rosemary, Sundried tomato baguette. Who ever thought of putting rosemary in bread is a genius.
The 1st place we went to was the Vatican. 
Looks nice inside.
Sorry for the blur, but every room looked like this on the way to the Sistine Chapel. 
After some walking, it was time for some gelato.
A little night time action of the Colosseum. 
and then inside. I must say that before we got there, I was really excited to run out into the middle like the gladiators. Little did I know that the original floor was gone. I almost cried.
Here is some sweet looking fountain. 
I am glad the drinks are "very cold."
Delicious home made pasta...
and delicious Italian Pizza
Katie and I had finished all the sites we had on our list, so we decided to go to the zoo.

Check out this guy biting his nails.
Here is the actual church.
Sorry for the rant.
More to come soon on my trip to Rome with Katie and then a special food section.
I flew Swiss International Air Lines and it was a great experience. The staff was very nice and they did not skimp on anything. Most airlines have dropped the "frills", but not them. Big meals and big snacks, along with allowing you to take the head phones when you leave the flight are part of their gig. Plus these head phone had an adapter so that you could plug it into a 1 pronged socket as opposed to the typical airline 2 pronged one. Most flights don't even give you head sets or food anymore. Also, you know how the person furthest from the server usually gets served first. Well, Swiss has class and ladies are always served first. Even though this was not in my favor, it shows that this little things have been thought out.
I use US airways very infrequently. I purchased a round trip ticket from them for my Paris semester. I saved a few bucks using them, but I didn't realize this lower cost meant that I would be sacrificing quality customer service. Let's just say that they are quite different from Swiss Airlines. I called about a month ago to inquire about changing my return ticket day because I had found out that my flight time had changed. At that time, a customer service representative informed me that because of the flight time change, that they would change my ticket free of charge. I told her thank you and that I would call back after I had time to make new arrangements. Well, when I called back this week, it seems as though the story had changed. I was informed that because I did not have a connecting flight on US airways, that to change my flight would cost $200. They had no sympathy for a train or person picking me up with a schedule. What could that $200 possibly cover? Technology has made these airline systems so seamless, that I am sure the actual cost is no more than $0.05 to change a ticket. When I told them what I had been told a month prior, they showed no sympathy, and said that the problem was mine and not theirs. So much for taking responsibility for the customer service team! Apparently the supervisor I spoke with thought that a client with future business potential is worth less than $200. Anyway, this experience has put US airways low on my list of preferred airlines, as customer service is every bit important as the flight itself. 
If any one is in the dancing industry in Israel, watch out, Ori is about to make a splash on the scene.
And this guy... one of the smartest/funniest guys I know. If you go to Israel and need a tour guide, let me know, he's your man.
The Wall at night
My buddy Josh Katz drew a picture of our class 10 years ago when we were studying in Israel for a semester. It is still up on the teachers wall.
I also went to the Yad Vashem museum and it was very moving. New fact I learned, there were about 3.3 million Jews in Poland before the war (10 % of the population). Only 0.3 million remained after.
Drank some "punch" (alcoholic cider) to warm up. 
Stared at this delightful structure.
Took a train to Prague. We had our own closed section with a door.
Hint of communism.
