... aber nur Tami, Mussa und die Kinder kommen. Tami war jedoch schon die ganze Woche gestresst, dass Oren und ich zu wenig einkaufen würden und auch wegen Wein etc, dass wir nicht so billigen kaufen sollen...und und und..<br><br>Am Freitag wars dann soweit. Ich habe einen schönen Tisch vorbereitet. Tradition ist: Apfelschnitze in Honig zu "tünkle" :))) so soll das Jahr sweet and sour werden. Also habe ich Äpfel halbiert und Gesichtli ausgeschnitten für jeden ...

... Garage (wieder einmal) parkiert hatten, suchten wir das Geschäft "Chalil". In dem Laden sass ein sandwichessender Musiker, der sich gelangweilt meine Geschichte anhörte. "Ne, flicken tun wir nicht...nur verkaufen. Du kannst aber bei uns einen Bogen für 100 Shekel haben und deinen gleich hier in den Abfall geben". Ich dachte, iuch hör nicht richtig. 1. 100 Shekel entsprechen ca. 30 Franken, man stelle sich vor was das für ein Mistbogen sein muss...2. Mein Bogen war um einiges ...

... gut getan, wiedermal schwizerdütsch zu sprechen. Oren hatte gestern seine 1. Lektion, war auch sehr witzig. Das deutsche Viertel (Moshava Germanit) liegt direkt unter den berühmten Bahaigärten und ist eine Strasse voller Kafes, die alle mit meinen geliebten Lämplis beleuchtet werden. Musa (Orens Vater) meint jedes Mal, das sei nicht sicher dort, weil es anscheinend sehr komische Besitzer seien (so ähnlich wie die Front in Bern), aber ich finds super gemütlich. Da sassen ...

... n gesagt:<br>So, jetzt musst du mir noch sagen, wie es dir wirklich geht? Und als<br>ich ihr ein bisschen **zählt habe, hat sie gesagt: Ja, das ist alles<br>schw** und fällt dir schw**.

... and we were on our way up the top of the mountain to get to the entrance to the Gardens.<br><br>Let me take this moment to say that Israel has all their roads backwards....in most places, the cities have straight, grid-like roads, and between the cities the roads curve and bend. Not in Israel. In Israel, the roads in the cities twist and turn so much a homing pigeon would get lost. And between the cities, the roads are grid ...

... like a really while female foreigner. In nearly 50 minutes we got to the only mall in Nazareth Illit (which is near my place) and Borik being Borik, refused to pick me up. So I walked home and turned it into a bit of an adventure like i noramlly would. I knew that I first had to go straight up a hill then at some big intersection turn left. Names of streets, or major landmarks I did not know, so I just winged it and looked forward to where I'd end up. I walked up this ...

... believed on him." John 2:11 It was in Cana that Jesus performed His first miracle, changing water into wine at a wedding where He, His mother and disciples were guests. The Franciscan Church of the Miracle, which was built in 1879 over the ruins of a sixth century sanctuary, is the site of the village synagogue where the wedding is believed to have taken place.

Here are few more details of our standard day: As we dig throughout the day, we are almost constantly finding pottery sherds. They can vary from dull utilitarian pottery to very fine, thin, painted and polished pottery. Sometimes we find specialty pieces that were part of cult stands or chalices and the like. Those are of the very finest quality. Very rarely we find whole vessels. This year we found a complete oil lamp, and two small jugs. We ...

... built a new one outside the walls. We bought a combination ticket that gave us access to some of the sites in Akko, picked up an audio guide, and entered the citadel. The most impressive feature of this place were the Knight's Hall, a series of vaulted halls that were uncovered 8m below street level. They served as the headquarters of the Knight's Hospitallers. The halls were appropriately ...
