TelAviv: Where the Coffee's Strong and the Vibe's Even Stronger

okay, so I'm typing this from a cafe that smells like roasted beans and slightly burnt toast. the weather right now? i just checked and it's...there right now, hope you like that kind of thing. 14.84 degrees, feels like 13.74. kinda crisp, kinda not. like a fresh apple that's been sitting on your desk for a day. pressure's high, humidity's moderate. basically, it's not going to rain on your parade, but it might make your hair do weird things. if you get bored, nearby cities are just a short drive away. jerusalem's got its own vibe, haifa's got the sea, but honestly, sometimes the best thing is just wandering these streets with a map that's more crumpled than my last budget spreadsheet.
