I went on another hike this weekend, this time to Wadi Zakar (the blue wadi), a very pretty stream bed that wound through lovely olive groves.
We stumbled across some really amazing caves near the wadi and I took the chance to climb down into one and check it out. Bigger than my apartment in New York, lovely and cool in the heat of the day. I am thinking about moving in and saving some cash on rent – you’ll still come visit, right?
Also included in the batch of pics on flickr are some of Ramallah, one of a dinner I went to in Tel Aviv and my last view as we picked up the bus back home after the hike – some kids playing on a garbage heap, chasing the bulldozer around to see what it turns up.
It is really nice to be able to go out and enjoy these lovely hikes, but as the kids reminded me, this is still a very poor place with deep problems.
