goodbye, golan, hello haifa

After the winery, and a decent respite so that driving would not be an issue, the three of us loaded back into the car to head to Haifa—that’s right, I would need to drive in an actual city.
Following the directions of the map were easy enough, and once into the city, we were able to follow signs to the University of Haifa most of the way, asking for directions from neighboring drivers as we got closer: “yashar yashar yashar, v’smola” until after a few times needing to turn and correct ourselves, we managed to find Caitlin and park by the dorms. The four of us then went inside to settle—Hayley still barefoot—after which we returned to the car, all shoed, to head into town for a bite and a bit of catching up with Caitlin. After playing with the life-size spider man statue in burger ranch and taking a nice walk around the area, we set our way back to the campus to set to bed before needing to get up first thing in the morning to return the car by 10 am, and not need to pay for a second day.
