Thursday was our one tiyul (trip) to Tzfat. Sarah Allen was our driver/tour guide/companion and it was great fun. We got an early start, drove about 3 hours (over the green line, she announced, as we could see Jordan!), and arrived in beautiful Tzfat. We shopped (of course) but didn’t find too much. I bought a watercolor painting and we went to the candle factory. The cheese factory was closed. We also went into some of the shuls briefly. A quick slice of pizza for lunch. Then we drove a bit, saw the Mount of Beatitudes (i.e. the place where Jesus gave the Sermon on the Mount), and walked in Rosh Pina, then went to Tiberias for a fish dinner right on the water – gorgeous view of the Kinneret! I had Mousht (St. Peter’s fish). Adam had trout with almonds – his was great. I was a bit more freaked out than I wanted to be by the fish’s bones, eyes, etc. But as they say, lo nora, it wasn’t terrible. Then we drove home and went to Café Hillel for a late dessert and hot chocolate. So yummy!
