Stewart has been posting tweets about her adventures in Israel, such as eating dinner at the market in Jerusalem, attending a Shabbat meal for 160 guests, and visiting a dairy farm with "award winning cheese."
"Don't get excited. I am on a serious tour of ancient history. No more. No less,"  she jokingly posted on Sunday afternoon.
She also posted a photo of "giant medjool dates," which she said were "served with excellent cappuccino on the road from Tiberius to Jerusalem" on Sunday afternoon.
