Tuesday in Tel Aviv 2

After lunch we wandered around in the Nachalat Binyamin crafts fair. This is one of my favorite sources for cool gifts on trips to Israel. If you've been to our apartment in DC, it's where I got that set of vintage Israeli postcards turned wall hangings. And if you've been to Ami's parent's house, it's where the cross legged chicken statutes (wow that sounds weird- they're really kind of cute) on the corner in the kitchen are from. I digress.

We strolled around over there on our way to the Shuk HaCarmel, and saw lots of very cool things, and of course, weird things too.

A new favorite stand includes all hand-made sewn kids toys of things that they should not be playing with, beer bottles, cigarettes, cameras, computers, phones, tools. Really awesome stuff. Check out his Etsy shop. In the end, as cute as he looked playing with the beer bottle, I decided our one year old does not need a $30 toy beer bottle (he's equally entertained by an empty water bottle) and Ami was worried about him playing with the fake lightbulb/outlet. So that was that.

What is this???
Tuesday's weirdo highlight was a man singing Shabbat songs, and fishing in a man hole/sewer hole. I think it was some kind of performance art, others with out think he's just a crazy. Votes? Art or Crazy? Comment below...
