Israel Journey: Day Sixteen

Spent the day relaxing with the group.  We woke up and had a wonderful Arab breakfast and then went into the old city to peruse the shops.



I left the group and was walking through town looking for something.  I couldn't find it, so I knocked on someone's door and a young high-school-aged girl answered.  I told her what I was looking for and she said, "I'm not sure, but my mom knows.  Come inside while I call her."  As she was getting directions from her mom on the phone, she brought me some hot tea and cookies.  Middle Eastern culture is so inviting!
