Here are some pictures from our second day of zeitoon picking:
 |
| The path from Abu Sohaib's house (where we live) to the farm |
 |
| You can see the farm in the distance (it's the plot of land with all the green trees on the righthand side). |
 |
| This is Nuah, Mos'ab's brother, picking some zeitoon. (Always a good occasion for a cigarette?) |
 |
| Who's that guy? ;) If you ask someone in the village, they'd say, "That's Kamal!" |
 |
| From left: Mos'ab, Kamal (me), Nuah, Mawia, and Hatim (Tom); all the Shakhanbeh brothers minus Sohaib and 'Brahim |
 |
| We had a delicious lunch of rashoof, which is a traditional Jordanian meal. It has a base layer of a kind of soggy bread and is covered with many delicious vegetables and drenched in jameed (a yogurt-like sauce)--it's zaki (delicious)! |
 |
| Tom and I polish off the rashoof. |
 |
| Mos'ab, lookin' cool |
 |
| Mawia was quite good with my camera and took this cool close-up of a dragonfly resting on one of the smaller zeitoon trees. |
 |
| All in a day's work! |
Abu Sohaib owes us some serious oil! Just kidding--I would volunteer to do this work every day.
This week all the volunteers are taking trips to visit our future permanent sites, so I'll be in Tafila for a couple of days. Be on the lookout for pictures and stories at the end of next week!
