Nachlaot – Miriam Drori, Author

On Friday, I took a break from NaNoWriMo to join the second Scavenger Hunt for bloggers, run by Tali Tarlow of Jerusalem Scavenger Hunts.

At the first one, last February, I didn’t really know what to expect and found it hard to join in, so I’m happy to be able to announce that I think I did better this time.

This hunt took place in the area of Nachlaot. I’ve been there many times. I even wrote about it as part of my A-Z blogs about Jerusalem. And yet I hadn’t noticed any of the sites we discovered on Friday.

Tali is excellent at explaining.

We listened, enthralled.

We formed five groups, and poor Lisa and Robin had to suffer having me in their group for the second time. We were joined by Laura, who was experiencing scavenger hunting for the first time.

We got lost and had to ask several people until we found one who could point us in the right direction.

We saw some interesting places.

And to round off the whole event, we were provided with delicious bread and soup, courtesy of Village Green, 5 Rachel Imeinu Steet.

We didn’t win, but we did better than last time!
