(* EVOO = Extra virgin olive oil)...is now coming to an end.
We have finished at the EVOO farm, and we are currently trying to figure out our next steps (Dead Sea? Negev Desert again? Jerusalem?). We spent some time in Tel Aviv, which was my first time in a big city (!). Despite the bad rap, Tel Aviv is actually a pretty nice city, once you get past the crumbling Bauhaus upon Bauhaus structure, the expensiveness, and the fact that Yafo is nicer. More on this later.
But, overall, a good time was had. We are returning to Tzippori on Saturday to collect our belongings, buy EVOO and associated products (including pickled olives that I made!), and briefly visit Nazareth.
My search for good reading material continues, not that I dislike reading fiction, but because I would like to be reading some history and sociology in addition. So, if anyone has any suggestions for good printed reading material about the history of the militarization of Israel and/or an objective account of the current status of the occupation, please send my way!
