Ben Gurion Boulevard - End of Summer

Ben Gurion boulevard walkway on a hot summer afternoon

Tel Aviv is hot and quiet this time of year. Even the large shaded boulevards (Ben Gurion in this picture) are not attracting people in the early evening hours. When the temperatures run between 85 and 90 Deg. F, most residents prefer an air conditioned cafe to walking the shaded boulevards. While kids are off school and many workers are on vacation, you would think city streets should be full. But to the contrary, the streets seemed to have been emptied as by a magic spell.
