Alas ... what one could expect from a homebird... I'm getting to settle here. I am afraid that my story will lose a bit on the dynamics ... sorry. The initial plan is to stay for about two weeks in Jerusalem.

Yesterday I was in Emmaus. Google pointed me a place 12 km east of Jerusalem, but when I got there I was sent further 20km to the east to proper Emmaus Nicopoli. There I found out the ceremonies which I wanted to attend were taking place in another Emmaus north from Jerusalem). The place which has got a unique atmosphere, there is a great community, so great hospitality that it was hard to leave. I found out that they make pilgrimages every Easter Monday from Jerusalem to this Emmaus - it's worth attending.
