The West Bank

Over the weekend, Sweetie and I went up to the Galilee.  We went out for lunch at a lovely cafe on a mountainside.  The other side of the mountain is the West Bank - Palestinian territory.  After lunch, we drove further up the mountain and stopped at a lookout point.  We could see a West Bank town about one mile away.  It was so eerie.  It looked like a dark, heavy cloud of stagnation and depression was right on top of the town.  I've never seen anything like it.

It really makes me count my blessings.
