jerusalem blues

Luggage arrived for everyone, that was like Christmas coming late, or early if you go by the Orthodox calendar. Police, in blue, army in green, all armed, in good number and arresting so many Palestinian men at the moment. More wall built of course. Good to see everyone who I'm with getting stuck into the dynamics of this place. Two phrases which have strong currency and are being repeated 'bitter sweet' and 'tragic farce'. The desert, wall and Old City tourism is at an end. Galilee and Jordan next. Happy New Year to all. X
