Streets of Rehavia Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Matmonai: This was one of my favorite caches in Jerusalem. So sad to have to archive it. In fact, I did what I almost never do, and I personally went to GZ and verified that it's indeed gone. But no worries - I will replace it with a new cache that will point to the waypoints listed here. So long...

Geocache Description:

This is a 4 stage multi-cache in the peaceful streets of Rehavia, my favorite neighborhood in Jerusalem. The distance between every stage is about 200 m and the total walking distance is less than 800m. 
IMPORTANT ! SOME OF THE STAGES WERE CHANGES THE FINAL LOCATION IS AT N 31° 46.266 E 035° 12.659 YOU CAN STILL VISIT THE DIFFERENT STAGES SINCE THEY WILL SHOW YOU COOL LOCATIONS !

Stage one
The coordinates will take you to a small and lovely promenade named after Eliyahu Sasson, which was the postal services and police Minister(not at the same time) in the Ben-Gurion government between 1961-1973. Start walking in the middle of the promenade from the starting point to Waypoint S1 and count 3 different things(on both sides):
A= The number of wooden trash bins
B= The number of wooden benches
C= The total number of parking tickets machines.

Stage Two
Go to Waypoint S2 (titled Unique House), and you will find yourself standing outside a very unique and decorated house. Take your time to enjoy this house and then you will need to get two pieces of information:
D= The number of the house (for example if the house is located in 12 Shaishoo St. then you write down 12 as the house number)
E= How many windmill's do you see? (Take your time and look carefully)

Stage Three
Go to Waypoint S3 (titled The Bench)
You will find yourself across a nice small playground near a large bench which is dedicated to a Doctor and his wife that lived in the area and like to sit down look at the kids and feed the birds.
F = The number of birds next to the bench that cannot move
G = 1 if the of bench is made of stone or 2 if it is from wood.
