THE SIGHTS 3

"THE STAIRS OF DEATH"
(This isn't a reference to any conflict. It's
just a bloody steep set of 187 steps.)

CROWDS ON THE WAY TO THE MASS WEDDING
(Making a total racket.)

CLOCK TOWER AT THE CENTRE OF THE OLD CITY
(This photo was taken at about
half past three one afternoon.)

CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE THIS WAS
(But I think it was night time.)

SAFAA AND HANEEN
(Safaa is the Activities Co-ordinator with Project Hope
and Haneen is the English Co-ordinator, so essentially
they're both my bosses. Both of them are legends.)

SOME OF THE LOCAL VOLUNTEERS
(All good lads.)

CEILIDH
(I was roped in to call a ceilidh that we held last week.
It was a really fun night. It was just for internationals
this time round, but the hope is to try one out with
locals sometime soon. Not sure how well this'll
work out, given certain cultural issues, but we'll
see. I think this was a Canadian Barn Dance.)

ROAD SIGN
(That nobody pays any attention to.)

VIEW FROM DOWN THE ROAD
(At dusk.)

RAFIDIA DISTRICT BY NIGHT
(The classy part of town.)

GRAFFITI
(Done by one of the local volunteers.)

Thanks for showing these. Favourites would be 'your' tree, (I still visit 'mine' on the way to Peebles now and then...) and the graffiti flag with doves - which is stunning! New desktop...
