29. Doctor Visit

Dear Emilee,

Did you ever go to the doctors’ office? Yesterday, I went with Mr. and Mrs. C. to the doctors.

The offices here are sure different then in Canada. They are wide and the whole building, all seven floors of it, is full of physicians. They have secretaries’ offices on every floor and lots of chairs to wait in. The pharmacy is inside the building as well as nurses offices, and the floors are separated to different specialties of the physicians.
Mrs. C. told me that it takes many visits to know which floor to go to and to find the doctors or the nurses who do the blood tests and all that stuff. But they must have been here a few times because they just pushed the button on the elevator, arrived at the 6th floor and knocked on the door to see the doctor.

Their physician is a very beautiful lady doctor. But she would not allow us to take her picture, she just let me have my picture taken with her stethoscope while I had my check up.

We walked there on the streets of Nahariya. Look how very wide the sidewalks are. It is laid down by hand all through the city. Many people walked down these streets, you just have to look down a lot because the dogs walk on these sidewalks also…

The doctor told Mr. C. that he has to eat more meat, so we went to the Falafel stand where he had Shwarma. This is a mixture of meats like turkey and lamb and it turns around and around the skew until it is well cooked. The seller shaves it thin; mix it with some sauté onion, places it in a pita, and adds veggies. Look at the colorful salad bar! and you can eat as much as you want from it...











Then we walked home again on the wide sidewalks.

All walked out,
