Spring Cup day

The Al Salayyah school.


One of my colleagues with his two daughters.

Spring cup finally got off the ground. The 7 players that showed up on Monday, also showed up today. They had a good time and completed the games that were scheduled. Tomorrow the final will be played most likely outside in the school court during mid break. That ought to be fun.

The workshop for English teachers in Nablus was also carried out as scheduled. 18 teachers showed up. I think they enjoyed what we did.

Also today I was invited home to meet with the family of one of the English teachers at school - Mr. Ahmad. He and his family live in an apartment overlooking Nablus city. From the balcony, the view of the city is just magnificent.

After an excellent dinner, mr. Ahmad, his two daughters and I went for an evening stroll in the neighborhood. We walked to a park with pick nick tables so high above the city center that we could clearly see across Israel to the Meditarranean Sea.

To be able to see "so far" gave me a very precise notion of how near everything is to each other in Palestine and Israel.
