Friday is a day for the beach
Everything in Gaza closes on Fridays,
it's the one day weekend.
the people here really know how to chill out.
I decided to do a cultural experiment,
so I went to the beach for a couple of hours,
played some cards, smoked some pipe, paddled a little......all in the name of science you understand.
On Fridays when the weather is nice, which it tends to be, everyone heads to beach.
The beach is kind of an excepetion in Gaza, where you can't hear the shelling,
and everyone chills out and seems to be genuinely happy,
it's totally detached from ordinary life here.
Also people clean their donkeys.
Jerusalem last weekend was really sweet,
went to Bethlehem and Ramallah also.
Met up with some friends(Andy P.), made lots of new friends, went to church, drank some cans in a park with some Irish hipppies..... altogether a well rounded weekend.

Do you need a licence for a donkey in Gaza. You might be able to pick one up cheap to get you around and you w'ont have to top him up with petrol..just a little food now and again.
It looked a bit cloudy in the photos.
Send us a meaty e-mail asap.
god bless

Quick question. Have u managed to calm down your footballin style over there?
In case you have not heard Munster beat Leinster in the semis. Lets hope they play as well in the final in Cardiff. UP THE REDS!!
