Theater in The Rough, Shakespeare in Jerusalem

Last night night I joined many at the performance by Theater in The Rough of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. It was fantastic despite the heat. Actually they started it at 6pm, a half hour later than usual, for the comfort of the actors and audience. 

The location is the Blumfield Park, which is "under" King David Street, closer to the Yemin Moshe end. The scenes are in a few nearby parts of the park, each a short walk from each other. Most people bring folding chairs, stools or blankets for sitting, though you can rent a very comfortable folding chair for only NS30, which I did. There are still more opportunities to see the play: 

Julius Caesar: in motion – August 8-24, 2023

There is no required ticket price, though NS40 is recommended, and they're grateful for any donation, more or less.

Here are a few photos I took at last night's performance. Public transportation and parking are nearby.

Bus Changes, Again, Finding a New "Pit Stop"

I was pleasantly surprised to discover the the Jerusalem Municipality has a very large public toilet in Gan Sacher. 

Considering that Gan Sacher is a humongous city park by Israeli standards, it's important to state that the loo is close to the Nachlaot and Cinema City end of the park, if I'm not mistaken. I got there early in the morning with a neighbor by car. It's also near a section "fenced in" for dogs to run and play.

It's very close to where the municipality recently set up all sorts of playground facilities, including some more geared to older, braver kids and agile adults.

I visited the loo very early in the morning, about 6:30am and found it clean, pleasant smelling and fully stocked with soap and toilet paper. You can't ask for more.

This is very good to know. I'll have to see how convenient it is from my usual city haunts. I'm glad to have some good news for you.

If you know of a public WC you think I should review, please let me know in the comments. And, of course, please share this post; it is a public service.

On The Tracks, Jerusalem Wanderings

Jerusalem's most amazing park is the one still under progress, still being developed, built and landscaped. It's the one that follows the old train tracks.

Some sections are pretty narrow, having just two "tracks," One is for bicycle riders and the second for walkers, joggers and runners. And in other sections, there's lots of space adjoining with all sorts of playground equipment. Actually, the area across from Matan has parking and then lots of other things, including public toilets and a fenced area for dogs.

There's even a little "sit and read" library.

Yesterday I walked a bit further than before and discovered this painted area under a bridge. You never know what you'll find in Jerusalem. It's a great place for wandering.

Strolling Through Jerusalem, New and Old Parks

I remember when the Liberty Bell Park was a new park.  It's still very attractive and has a WC aka public toilets open from 7am until 7pm.

From the Liberty Bell Park, walk up Emek Refaim Street until you get to Pierre Koenig where you'll find a path to the new train track park on the old tracks.  The only wheels you'll find now are bicycles and baby carriages.

There are also fitness playgrounds for children of "all ages," including adults who enjoy staying in shape.

Think of it as a pedestrian and cyclist street.  The views are gorgeous, too.

Isn't it more fun to walk than ride?
