    i love all the text in this -even though i can’t most of it – actually i think that’s what i really like about it – that i don’t understand any of the words except ‘pie’. and the delight of pie seems such a contrast to the heavy shopping bags.

    :) Michele, thanks for your comment. It’s kind of funny, because you read the Hebrew letters as English ones, so it doesn’t really say “Pie”, it says שוק in cursive letters which means “Market”. It’s funny because when I first came here just over 3 and a half years ago I didn’t speak Hebrew and my brain automatically tried to read a lot of Hebrew words as English ones. So I had to really look at the image again until I saw pie!

    Wonderful street image. Me too – I read the hebrew letters as English ones – but I do see how it says shuk. Very clever!!!
