Zefat is the Artist town of Israel. Its up on a hill in the Golan. It's a good sized town and has mostly one way streets! So if you miss your turn..you have to go all the way around again to get back to were you want to go/park. Lol, we figured that out the hard way! But at least now we know! Zefat is not pronounced, zee fat. It's pronounced, zfat. Confusing I know. It's pronounced a few different ways. But there is no question that it's a cute little town with gorgeous views!!
The first time we went it happened to be a rainy day. It wasn't foggy down here in Tiberias...but it sure was in Zefat!! Man..you couldn't see anything! Surprisingly, it was very busy! I didn't expect it to be so busy because Sukkot is over and everyone should be at work. But, tourists are still out and about! The streets in Zefat are very narrow and old, so they are one way like how I mentioned before. But are very busy! Constant traffic and honking! lol!
Once we parked we got out and got ready to go find the Artists Area of Zefat. No, Zefat isn't all just art. They haver certain areas were you can go to too see the art.That's when we saw our breaths for the first time since we arrived in Israel! You would think we have never experienced the cold! lol! We were so amazed!!! Funny, eh? Now thats sad since we are Canadians. hehe! Then we set off to find the artists area of Zefat.
We happened to run across a shoe store. This shoe store happened to be a Naot shoe store! Naot is an Israeli shoe company that has stores all around the globe. Of course they are expensive but SO CUTE! But they are twice to three times as much in Canada and other countries. So I bet your wondering if I got a pair. Yes I did! My first pair of heels...which don't have much of a heel to them ;) they are absolutely the cutest shoes I've ever had! They are SO comfortable too! Then later that night we found out about the Naot shoe factory were they make all the shoes! They happen to be even less than they are at Zefat! So we went there a few days later and mom got a pair of shoes too ;) Naot also sells these Bamboo Socks! They are the most comfortable socks ever! And no they aren't $15 for a pair. They are like $5-$7 for a pair ;) here is the Naot website so you can check it out!!

I got the Royal 44053 in Black ;) love them!!!
Once we found the artist area of Zefat, it was lunch time!!! The artist area of Zefat is full of cute little shops full of artwork and jewelry! The art is absolutely amazing and the jewelry is just stunning!! Most of the jewelry is hand made! It's just fun to go and look and all the different styles and colors!! Near the end of the artists area, there is this pizza place but it's not exactly pizza. The guy who owns the place is a Yemenite Jew. His name is Ronan! He's such a fun guy! Okay, back to the pizza that's not really pizza. lol...so Ronan makes these little individual pizzas topped with his spices, tomatoes, onions, parsley and lots of cheese!! Yummy!! I can't remember the exact name of his pizza things...but they were amazing!!! Then we asked Ronan if we could take his picture, and he said sure! Sarah, come up here! So I went up and he put a head covering on me like what Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel and Leah would have worn! Then he got some hats for Nolan and Elijah to wear! We all got our picture taken together!! Fun fun fun!!
So that's our first experience of Zefat!
