(3rd picture - Producer looking out from balcony)
Monday morning got off to a good start, despite Tel-aviv rush hour traffic and avoiding the millions of motorcycle (Toos-toos) drivers. Its smart to drive a small moped in this city to fight traffic BUT it is dangerous.
I have to say though, I am proud of myself, because I drove around Tel-aviv and the coast by myself and didn't get lost! :-)
On the way, I picked up Doron, my producer, and off we drove northward to scout a few locations for the shoot. On the way, Doron received some news that we "could possibly" run across a problem and get denied permission to film at the Atlit Ag. station, the HQ of Nili. (See picture of building above - still standing with few renovations). We are thinking positive for a final confirmation to be OK'ed.
The man in charge of the place allowed us to come inside the gated property to take pictures and see the place.
We were greeted by 8, and I say 8 German shepherd dogs guarding the place. I think it is a sign, because we were well liked by the dogs and they didn't bark at us (Several guys that came in after us, didn't receive the same reception and the dogs barked up a storm). In fact two dogs got on their backs so we could scratch their belly. LOL (You can see one of the dogs behind Doron). Guard dogs? :-)
Anyway, tomorrow I leave for Zichron on a early morning commuter train to plead my case and search for more archive material.
Word of the Day: IRONY: The Israeli Navy said yes to me! The Israeli Navy for crying out loud. :-) Let me film around a "navy base" that is supposed to be "secret."
Until next time.
