Exploring Dizengoff Street

I slept in this morning, then took a nice long walk exploring Dizengoff street.  But not before returning for a fresh croissant at the same place.  Leslie, the receptionist at the hotel, was having trouble running my credit card, and left me a note so I had to clear that up as well.

I walked up to the shopping center, where I tried to have my phone fixed - the select button is stuck permanently  pressed down, which means that anytime the cursor moves, it is selecting things, so I can't easily read emails or respond to messages - or alternatively, I am responding too easily, sending lots of little messages.

After walking up and down Dizengoff, I stopped for a delicious cappuccino at Cafe Michal (230 Dizengoff St.) and relaxed for a while.  Unfortunately, with the drizzling rain in Tel Aviv, there isn't anywhere to sit and enjoy the ambiance, the benches are all soaking wet, and the cafes either full or so empty it was a bit eerie.

The train to Ramla is only 15 minutes and goes on the hour.  I will leave at 1:30 for the station, giving me plenty of time to make my way to the station, buy my ticket and get from the next station to meeting spot (of course the information is in the broken phone, so that could take a while to get into as well).
