Exploring Haifa

I’ve spent the last two days trekking all around the city of Haifa in an attempt to get a more thorough lay of the land. I’m exhausted, but I’m happy to report that I have a much better understanding of the geography of the city and the public transportation system.

Yesterday I went to the shuk (marketplace) before it closed for Shabbat. The shuk was a seriously intense experience. There were endless vendors selling all kinds of produce and other items, and customers flooded the stalls as Shabbat neared and prices fell. I bought loads of fruit, but I’ve eaten a lot of it. That’s the problem with grocery shopping – it feels like an endless process because you buy the food, then you eat it, and then you have to go shopping all over again.
