A late Sunday afternoon walk in the mountain with our friends. Our presence seemed to have aroused the suspicion of some locals, who stopped their truck and came to find out if we were Arabs or Jews. Apparently our friends from Zababdeh passed the test, leaving us free to picnic, play some 'oud, and enjoy the beauty of the local flowers and a breathtaking eagle's eye view of Zababdeh.
Our day of relaxation was rounded out by watching a movie (!) with our neighbors - that's been a long time coming.
