Friday's Memories.....

Open markets in Jerusalem line the streets of the city everywhere.  I never saw a supermarket but some open markets were used to sell everything, including meat and vegetables.

We were along with our minister and his son to eat pizza.  The son's birthday was that day and a few of us went with him to celebrate on the streets.

This is late evening and the streets were packed with people going home from work, tourists, and pop can beggars.

Traffic is so crowded and more honking of horns take place to find your opening through the crowds. In some areas there are not street lights or stop signs. Aggressive driving will get you to where you want to go. The tour buses do posture themselves as bullies with the right of way. There are hundreds of tour buses.

In the city of Nazareth the traffic was the most snarled and almost a comical kind of scene. The streets are right close to the sidewalks and it couldn't have been more congested

The cities are is  old.  The biblical history is thousands of years old and the people who live around the are make do with the structures that have been built many years ago.

Indoor mall areas are created inside some of the largest existing buildings. One can shop for many things that are like our modern malls.  I bought doughnuts at one of the stores while our birthday guy was buying another piece of pizza. 

The photos are still being edited as I go through them all from our eight day visit. It is Friday here and it is going to be cold.  It is gray skies but no rain is in the forecast. I wish everyone to be well.  Thanks for stopping by today.
