St Gabriel Nazareth

... untill paved road".. Ja, grappig LInda, maar al die Y-splitsingen dan?? Totaal verward kwamen we bij een tankstation, waar we een lift van een aardige Israelier kregen, die ons helemaal naar Zipori bracht, waar hij helemaal niet heen moest..<br><br>Zippori is een groot park met een heleboel opgraving van allerlei tijdperken: Romeins, Joods (in een oude synagoge was net nog een jochie ge-bar mitswaat), Arabisch... Wel erg indrukwekkende mozaieken, maar vooral erg heet. <br ...

... to place the notioce outside of a christian church is just hateful - I cannot believe it is what their god would want!!!! Everyone should be free to chose his own faith.<br> I also saw the church over the site of Josephs workshop which has a lot of messages on pieces of paper thrown down a pit which is where he used to work.<br><br><br>I also saw the Greek Authodox church which was nice and as it was sunday the market was closed so I took the long hot walk up the hill back to Idits place ...

... center). So a very touristy and fun day.<br>A lot of conversations here touch upon the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Apparently 17% of Israel's population is Arab (so not counting the West Bank and the Gaza Strip), but they have a very low socio-economic status and you see a lot of kids begging on the streets. Even though they have the same rights in terms of welfare etc. <br>Anyway, lots of interesting stuff, and I'm thoroughly enjoying my trip here so far!<br><br>

Einige P**sonen in meinem Umfeld hi** waren geschockt, als ich offenbart habe, dass ich noch nie auf ein** Hochzeit war. Was daran so schlimm sein soll, weiss ich nicht, jedenfalls hat sich das letzten Sonntag geaenda**t, denn eine Freundin von mein** Manag**in Suraida hat geheiratet und da Suraidas Sohn Abdallah d** Ringtraeg** war, waren Annika, Thomas und ich auch eingeladen.<br>Nun hab ich ...

... Volontaere, um unseren Arbeitsplan locker zu gestalten und wieder eine Person fuer Al-Mutran abzustellen. Das Al-Mutran ist das Schwestern-Gasthaus des Fauzi Azar und liegt knappe 200 Meter nebenan, ebenfalls in der Altstadt. Es hat drei Wohnungen mit Platz fuer je sechs bis zwoelf Gaeste und ist auch dementsprechend teuer (220 Euro pro Nacht). Deshalb ist auch nie viel los und braucht kaum Personal. Ausserdem ist es vielleicht der beliebteste Job bei uns, da im Al-Mutran arbeiten in etwa ...

... voller Montur aufkreuzen). Damit ist fuer mich auch endlich klar, warum die Israelis ein Outdoor-Volk ist, denn bei solchen Moeglichkeiten im eigenen Land wuerd ichs auch nicht daheim aushalten!<br><br>Fazit: Ein Gedi war ganz eindeutig eines der absoluten Highlights der letzten Monate, um damit in einem Atemzug mit Petra, den Drakensbergen und River No.2 genannt werden zu duerfen.<br><br>Noch am selben Abend kamen wir wieder im Fauzi an und durften gleich die ...

... he's done some cool **** in the army and best of all he makes me laugh and is sociable. I loved spending time with him and his friends We came back to his place, wached Love Guru and eventually I simply passed out missing everying (its a shame really, coulda chatted more) In the morning (april 23rd 2009) we planned to go to the beach, The Bahai Gardens and then it wouuld be time for me to head back to Nazaret Illit. However, the weather wasn't what we had hope for and so ...

Today we were all woken up at 10AM by Tal's aunt Yudit, who thought we had slept enough on the beautiful day. And she was so right! It was absolutely gorgeous outside &amp; we had decided that we were going to go the the beach today. Tal's cousin, Shai &amp; his 1.5 year old baby Saar, were already there when we arrived. which was lucky because my kids were in despair because we hadn't yet bought a pail &amp; shovel yet, but he had some for them to share ...

... felt sorry for us because we were on foot so he let us in anyway. Still, the church was locked, but we had a most scenic spot to eat our lunch and admire the Galilee. When Jean-Baptiste saw that the church had opened we popped in before the tourist invasion and popped out to leave the nun inside to her prayers. We then attempted to make our way back down the hill to Capernaum. Fortunately for us, I made a mistake with directions. Also ...

... is agreeable and standing in the synagogue, we really enjoy his reading from the Bible and his dramatization of the dialogue of Jesus with synagogue members, this involving the participation of the tour group members. The synagogue has a stone chair called a seat of Moses. The guide put one of his tourists in this chair at the beginning of his presentation. Apparently Jesus has referred to the seat of Moses, but few are remaining. This is a great ...
