5 things.

1)  Last weekend we actually did end up going to Nazareth.  I refrained from posting because I lacked pictures.  Pictures (via Rebeccas camera) are on their way.

2) Today was the first day of teaching and it went great.  We spent an hour with Gr. 5 students this morning and then did about an hour and a half of conversational english classes with the university students.  Fantastic.

3) We ate lunch today with a group of four pastors from Sweden who came to spend time with the directors of the student center and get an idea of what kind of things go on.  I like Swedish people.  They got particularly excited when I asked them about hockey and then mentioned I was from Toronto.  Their faces lit up like a proud father for their boy Mats.

4) We also found out today that in about a week and a half we will be going to Elat, in the very southern tip of Israel and visiting the Sudanese refugee camp.  I am very excited about that.

5) Last week Rebecca and I took a walk around BirZeit and snapped some pictures along the way.  Here are some:
