The Long Road to Afula....

I have never seen traffic like this in Israel. Like a moving parking lot. Maybe it was because everyone was going home for Shavuot? And yet, you would think that they wouldn't all be doing it at the same time. A normal, just-under-2-hour-drive, took nearly three. And then I got to Afula. Which felt like a ghost town. The shops were already closed for the day (because of the holiday). No one on the streets, no cars, no people, and even stranger, no cats. Very, very eerie. I think that they must have all been in traffic.
