So on Friday, my new friend Ariel and I went to the market to get some food before the town shuts down for Shabbat (sundown Friday to sundown Saturday), and it was insanity. Everyone was rushing around frantically because the meal has to be cooked by sundown, and I was just clueless. Luckily Ariel knows some Hebrew, and it seems like everyone knows at least a little bit of English. Thank God.
The market itself was sooo crowded, people were packed in absolutely everywhere, shoving and shouting and smashing their groceries into you "accidentally". There was so much fresh fruit, pomegranates the size of my head, and everything is so cheap! There were spice stalls with giant sacks of powders in all different colors, backlava trays literally oozing honey onto the ground, pitas in piles taller than myself... Insanity. And deliciousness.
Here are some pictures, I can't figure out the captions, so hopefully they speak for themselves...
Okay I lied, I haven't uploaded them yet. But I will. Soon.
