Some pictures

These are pictures I have taken from the balcony of the guest house I am staying in. It is a very large flat with a beautiful tiled floor. There is another teacher from England here apart from me, and her mother Linda. She has got a computer with WIFI which is very convenient. At the moment the door to the balcony is open, which means that despite the fact that it is very hot outside, a nice breeze is blowing through the flat. To the right you can see the oldest mosque of Abu Dis. To the left of the pointed tree in the foreground is the Mount of Olives, which normally wouldn't be that far away, but because of the system of road blocks and restrictions on movement would take a long time to reach, even assuming the people have the right kind of id card, which most of them don't, which means that they can't get there at all.
