Still some places to visit....


A short break on the way to Jerusalem on a back road ...through some picturesque pine forests...not 'radiata!!!' & hey it was in this area somewhere nearby where that young man 'Dave,' slew the 'big man.' Yes the same Dave that hid down in those Dead Sea area caves and became King of Israel, just a few millenia back.

A few orthodox jews heading to their big night of the week...at the Wall & the beginning of Shabat . Their dress attire is certainly bizarre to say the least especially in the heat. Note too, since this day happened to coincide with the start of the Moslem ramadan, there was an increase in security....those army boys in the background are ready for anything.

Had a great chat with this young jewish couple. Always interesting & friendly to talk with & share their views on life etc. At this particular time we were also enjoying a milk shake & a very nice piza. The wife comes from Uzbekistan & husband from the States.
