Monday’s plan included a visit to Nazareth and the Sea of Galilee. I packed bread in case I was hungry for fish and a swimming suit in case walking on water didn't work for me. We left work at 5PM, which at Intel is considered working a half-day.

By day three in Israel, we mastered the highway system. This was important because Israelis weren't much help with directions. I asked an Israeli coworker which highway he used to drive home; either he didn't know or particularly care, all he said was, "I just go." Luckily, one of my tour books included an Israeli highway map. Sure, I could have purchased the map locally rather than drag that one ten thousand miles, but that would have been too easy.
