Markie Re'em Christmas 2009
enero 5th, 2010
After lunch, we visited the Milk Grotto, where some people think Mary nursed Jesus on the way to Egypt and dropped some milk on the ground which turned the stones of the cave white. Johann said it would be a nice quiet place to sit and think about Christmas, but there were a lot of tourists and children with balloons in the shapes of helicopters.
We stopped in to visit Diana and Issa Zoughbi and their kids, who are pastors of the House of Bread church and then we went back to Hebron earlier than we thought we would. Kathy wanted to take a picture of Jesus with a Palestinian flag at the church and a picture of the Nazi Dental laboratory on the walk to catch the bus from Bethlehem to Jerusalem. I'm not sure why.
We had some Christmas Pomegranate Juice on the way walking back to our apartment in Hebron. The juicer man broke it and had to spend some time fixing it with a knife.
The best part of the day was when Laura and Sara from Tuwani came in for their days off. The taught me to play Carcasson, and I'm much better at it now than Kathy is. Then we did some singing together. They sang “The Twelve Days of Tuwani Christmas” that ended with “12 settlers leaving, 11shepherds standing, 10 Taboun bread, 9 children playing, 8 chickens squawking, 7 sheep a munching, 6 donkeys braying, 5 cups of tea, 4 mobile phones, 3 cameras, 2 binoculars and a tiny house for all of CPT.)”
Hi Kids!
Christmas Day in Bethlehem wasn't as fun as Christmas Eve in At-Tuwani. Kathy didn't like the journalists pushing worshippers out of the way at the Christmas morning service. Lunch was yummy, but expensive. Paulette made one of the salads look like a star!
