BBQ


























I realise the last post was real heavy,
and I know it's important to talk about this stuff.
but also a large part of what people do here is just hang out.

I play football on Monday nights and some of the boys had me around for a BBQ.
This was a cracking night,
I learnt how to make kebabs, smoked some shesha (pipe) and played some cards.
Stayed there till nearly 3 on the morning just hanging out.

The situation in Beit Layha got alot press in the few days following our visit,
pity it had to the death of a 14yr old girl to get on the news though.

Turns out that the rockets were being fired into Israel from the immediate area around those houses that were destroyed,
I guess this makes the shelling by the Isareli army more understandable,
but the people whose houses were destroyed had nothing to do with the rockets.

In other news...
I'm going to Jerusalem for the weekend,
should be cool seen as it's Easter and all.

Went to a Passover meal last night, thought of you. Last post made me think a lot about how everyday events can normalise shocking events so much. Like children playing beside the ruin of their house. Maybe it's just me. Have a great time in Jerusalem
