More Olives

Here are some additional photos from our day of olive picking:

Having lunch with our "Olive" family. The trees we were helping to harvest have been in this family for many generations. After some serious olive picking we sat down to an amazing lunch of homemade olive oil, olives, veggies, tuna, and laffa, a kind of pita bread. It was delicious and lovely. Also, we drank the best hot tea ever ever.

Covert photo. Josh speaking to soldier on patrol. I was told to photograph all interactions between the army and the people (including us). I'm a bit of a wuss, so I was not hanging out of tree taking action shots :)

The view from our olive grove. We are looking toward an army checkpoint.

Josh with some local kiddos. They wanted to fly to America with us.


These curious dried plants (or seeds?) were numerous on the ground. What are they??
