All Shuk Up

In Jerusalem, there is a wonderful place called The Shuk. What is at the Shuk? Well, almost anything that you can think of. Think of a 4-lane road. Now think of that road with no cars on it, small shops lining the edges, and tons of people getting food and stuff. That is the Shuk. We usually go there to get our fresh produce, because it is so much cheaper than in the stores. However, the Shuk is a magical place, and you can get more than produce. You can kitchen supplies, socks & underwear, spices galore, and even a quick bite to eat. The Shuk has it all. If you're willing to withstand people constantly bumping into you and fighting to pay for your goods, then you would probably like the Shuk. I know I do.

  1. Cool. On a different note, what season do they call it there right now? We just got dumped on twice this past week. Very ugly roads right now. But not bad enough to stay home from work.

  2. So just drove back to the cities. Was better than when I went home. Very harrowing. Semi's and cars in the ditch. Now back to the grind.

  3. They consider it winter here. They did get snow this year, but it was gone within a week. It gets to about mid-60's during the day, but it can drop to about high-30's at night. I definitely wouldn't consider winter weather, but all the natives are bundled up in heavy coats with scarfs. It is an interesting sight.
