box from nico i picked up yesterday at the post office - thanks friend!!
looking out our bedroom window (towards the pre-school)
looking out our other bedroom window (towards the street)
just up from our house - notice the pile of trash - where i put my trash. (just a week after the new trash system was instituted we went back to the old way... )
shops just up from our apartment - towards one of the two main streets in the arab quarter
sign on the main street which signals our street
main street (notice the youth hostel/tea house sign)
street where i buy my groceries in the old city (man with the yellow shirt is standing across from the shop - i am standing at john's sandwich shop - for those of you who love a good john's sandwich).
the shuke - outdoor jewish market - where i buy all our fresh foods, meats, cookies, humus, nuts, etc...
