Sataf

Its a bit of a crush in the Souk on Shabbat and makes me think about Jesus stopping suddenly to say 'Someone touched me'. Everyone's jostling each other!

The Garden Tomb is quiet and peaceful place to pray and over the air comes a lovely (Chinese?) version of "Because He lives, I can face tomorrow".

Sataf is a lovely place for a walk. At last somewhere that's not religious or political.

Or at least it is now. Back before 1948 this was a small muslim village with 100 houses and 500+ people here. But then the war and now this, homes that were wrecked and have now been turned into a beautiful olive grove. I've no idea where the original people now live but hey its a really nice park to walk in.
