Tiffany's day off

Tiffany got a day off from the AY tour and asked me to take her around.  We went to the Mahane Yehuda shuk, and then took the light rail to Har Herzl.
In this photo, Yad vShem is beyond the woods on the right, and you're generally looking north. I wondered if the building in the distance to the left was Hadassah Hospital because she wanted to see the Chagall windows.  Hmm.  The bus schedule from downtown Jerusalem to Hadassah Hospital was a nightmare: maybe it would be easier from here??

She wanted to take her time and see the outside exhibits at the Yad vShem campus. We walked down to the museum entrance from the light rail and saw everything.  Not much shade there, so I was grateful to not be sunburned.
I checked my handy-dandy Moovit app, and indeed, there is a bus (#27) that runs from that light rail station to Hadassah Hospital.  Wow. Easy and cheap.  No flinching and taking cabs for us!  The drop off spot at the hospital is at the hospital's mall (like the bus stations) so we wandered around and finally found the information desk.  I inquired in Hebrew, and we happened to be right by the desk for viewing the Chagall Windows.  We joined another English-speaking group, and then had lunch in the hospital's mall at an Aroma.  Tiffany had haloomi cheese for the first time.  Then it was an easy path back to downtown by taking the #27, then the light rail.  We did some skirt shopping, and then I returned to Tel Aviv.
