It’s hard to believe, but this road was once a bustling business center.

Marthame decided to leave with Susan and her sister this morning, to get a ride with them back to Jerusalem, where hopefully he can get someone to look at the camera. The three of them headed out through the Jalame checkpoint, which has been moved a good half a mile inside the West Bank, almost next to the petrol station along the main road. The only business along the main road which was not demolished (due to its owner being Israeli and having all of the necessary licensing and threatening legal action against the military), the station is now obsolete.

Before heading down to Jerusalem, the three stopped to have some fun in Akko (aka Acca, aka Acre), the ancient fortress city along the Mediterranean. Once they arrived in Jerusalem, Marthame dropped off the camera, hoping it'll be ready in a few days.
