Lions, Tigers, and (no) Bears, oh my!

Turns out that bears hibernate during the winter, so we couldn't see them at the zoo, but the penguins were having a great time.

No zoo is complete without safari train.
Great park for kids too!
Don't forget the pink flamingos!

Unusual Homes

At first glance, when driving to Hanoch Kalai Street (named after a former leader of the Irgun) in Old Malcha you see a somewhat incongruous minuret (or somewhat incongruous now) rising up over the homes in the area.

As you get closer, you realize that the homes seems to have been built around this minuret.

I don't think it is in use any more.

And check out this home on the same street!

That's Teddy Stadium down below in the background.

The Malcha Technology Park Elevator

Last week I mentioned Free Things to Do with your Kids in Jerusalem and mentioned the elevators in the Malcha Technology Park Tower. But because we were having so much fun going up and down I forgot to take pictures.

This time I didn't forget.

That's the Malcha Train Station, and that is an actual train in Jerusalem (I'm not sure what it is doing there)!

Free Things to do with your Kids in Jerusalem (1)

I’m not sure management would approve, but my kid sure did.

Rising high over the Malcha Technology Park and Malcha Mall, is the Tower.

It has the most amazing glass elevators.

Starting from the 1st or 4th floor (depending where you come in from) these super fast elevators are a kids delight (as long as your kid isn’t afraid of heights).

The elevators start off inside the building, but just a few flight up and you are suddenly climbing the 17 story tower from the outside. Reminded me of Willy Wonka and the Glass Elevator.

The trips up and down are worth a good 15 minutes of free fun (OK, I enjoyed it too).

We were having so much fun in the elevator I forgot to take pictures from the top. I'll try to get one next week.
