Nazareth

AGAIN - NOTHING LIKE I IMAGINED. IT IS OBVIOUSLY CHANGED WITH THE TIMES AS EVERYWHERE ELSE. NOW IT IS A PLACE WHERE MOST TOURIST DO NOT WANT TO SPEND MUCH TIME. THE ROADS ARE HECTIC. CAR TRAVEL IS INSANE. SHOPS ARE TINY. THE BEST THING ABOUT VISITING NAZARETH IS GETTING OUT OF THERE!!!

Dumb

Walking along the shore today, a man said something to me in Hebrew.
He startled me because I was engrossed in looking at the beautiful shells...there are so many here!
So, he repeated - in Hebrew - what he said. And this time he pointed at my watch.
I figured out he wanted to know the time. I held up 5 fingers as it was almost 5 pm.

He said "You don't know HEBREW?" Like he couldn't even imagine that! I'd love to know Hebrew. I think even if I could count to 10, that would be helpful.

Anyway, I felt really, actually, dumb - as in - not able to speak.
I am. What a stark reminder.
There is SO much I have to learn!
