Off to Jerusalem!

Getting from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is probably the easiest thing in the world.  There are buses that run every 15 minutes and it only costs around $6 USD each way.  It's a short 1 hour ride on a comfortable bus.
As soon as we arrived in Jerusalem, we hopped in a cab to our hotel: Addar.  For a very reasonable $100 rate, we were given a nice one bedroom suite with a kitchenette.  I would highly recommend this hotel if you go to Jerusalem, it is close to the Muslim section of the city and a quick 10 minute walk to the Old City.  The front desk guy could use a little humor in his life, but I think that may just be the Israeli way.

By the time we settled in, we were famished, so stopped in the Shualeh Restaurant purely based on the number of locals inside.  We ordered shawarma with hummus and it was DELICIOUS.  I eat hummus almost every week in NY, but I have never had hummus like this.  It was creamy, fresh without the sour aftertaste.  We devoured the entire thing by soaking up the extra hummus with extra pita bread.  Just thinking about this meal is making me drool right now.
