Crash Course cont.






On Sunday we got to check out some of the sites around Nazareth. First we got a private tour of the White Mosque which is very near our hostel. Our guide, Saleh, was incredibly hospitable and explained everything to us. He mostly spoke German, however, and it helped that we happened to go the mosque with some backpackers from Germany who we met at our hostel. Then we went on to the Church of the Annunciation--the traditional site where the angel appeared to Mary to announce Christ's birth.
