Well, the old folk are still slow but they're becoming much more interesting. I decided that surely they must filled with all kinds of great stories, so I started asking them questions. Turns out, this one guy, Wayne, has been traveling to the Middle East for 60 years and he actually spent five months backpacking through Israel and living off the land -- in 1949! Israel didn't even declare statehood until 1948. World War II didn't even end until 1945. I was totally blown away. What an amazing story!
To add to the eye-opening moments of today's adventures, here are a few of the best photos from today and yesterday. The captions will tell you what you're looking at. Also, you should know that I'm currently sitting at the Sheraton Hotel bar in Tiberias, drinking a glass of local Israeli red wine (it's not half bad!) and listening to a wedding singer-type man croon out "No woman, no cry" with the help of his synthesizer.
