Steven had just gotten back from giving a talk at Bal Ilan University and wanted to wander around a bit. So we wandered to the "souk" (open air market) near our hotel. The souk is sheer sensory overload with produce, fish, sweets, spices, and household goods. We couldn't pass up the baklava station, which, as the merchant informed us, was priced at 55 NIS per half kilo. Steven held up a 20 shekel note, which the merchant promptly grabbed, gave a nod of his head, and filled up a platter with whatever he chose. Of course, it was amazing.
