As though it was a little a pocket hole to peak through, the city market is located behind tiny gates along a side street of Al Manara. It’s a location that may be passed by easily, however, the shouts over Vegetables and Fruits are hard to miss. Through the gates, one is immediately drawn into this ocean of colourful foods, and hurdling people, exchanging, slapping hands and smiles. And we are called at from everyside. Marhaba! Marhaba! It took a while to figure it out, it means Hello! Hello! Welcome to Palestine! People are very friendly. Vibrant strawberries, to super sweet tangerines and the yummiest Banana’s on earth are to find. In this gathering of people, as a team, Chris, Jon and I stand out like glow worms, (particularly with Chris’s hair.) We are defiantly the easiest needles to find in a stack of hay. This attention needed getting used to in the first couple of days, it’s all fine now. And we venture the market, at Al Manara. Shukran, thank you, for these lovely foods. Sallam aleykum! Peace be with you. Aleykum Sallam, and on you be peace.
