Day two of the conference, sponsored by Schools on Line. There's much too much to tell of these three days, but it is a capsule of life with the Palestinians and the Israelis.

There are three or four Christian villages left in Palestine/Israel, and Zababdeh is one of them. The only one that is all Christian is Taybeh, near Ramallah.

The daily life and folks of Zababdeh are becoming more and more familiar to us. Here's one of the families (one of several) that has adopted us.

As a bit of perspective, our new friend who has visited Indiana wanted us to know how pleased he is that we are in Zababdeh, because Chicago is a dangerous town (note this, those of you who worry for our safety!).
