It’s been a busy week. We had a visiting relative who we took to Jerusalem and then up north. It gave us the opportunity to see the north for the first time since the war and to spend a little money where it’s needed.
We were surprised to see very little damage in the area where we traveled although there was a minor rocket hit in an alley not far from where we stayed.
I had forgotten how beautiful the land is. I love the starkness of the hills, dotted with acacias and sycamores and olive trees. I love the stone streets and alleys and the shuttered stone dwellings.
Of course, Jerusalem is the crowning glory, and so we spent time there too. I have uploaded some of the pictures to this site.
