With the exception of the scorpion and the tarantula-looking spider, all guests in our home (human or not) have been treated with proper Middle-eastern hospitality. See a gallery of arthropods in our home.

The hot springs at Tayasir:
..
Days after our arrival, we took a trip with Abuna Louis to the warm spring near Tayasir, which had delicious date palms and gooey green plant life.

Gardens:
April, 2001: In spring, gardens around Haifa (especially at the magnificant Baha'i Temple) are all abloom.

April, 2001: The flowers are coming up around the nearby new Arab American University of Jenin.

January and April, 2001: Each time we visit, there are beautiful flowers at the Russian Convent of Mary Magdalene on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem.

Fall, 2000: Abuna Dominick's green thumb keeps at work at the convent in Nablus.

We've made a few trips to the Church of the Annunciation in Nazareth, and we've enjoyed the gardens every time.
