And, security is very good to the point that we felt very comfortable walking around (and that has nothing to do with my M16...I would have felt perfectly secure without it).<BR/><BR/>BEC: The lamposts are prehistoric (oops - does mean they are older than 5766 years?)Jameel @ The Muqatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890095633246557332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-1146337232969398092006-04-29T22:00:00.000+03:002006-04-29T22:00:00.000+03:00Hey Yaakov - Yes, thats EXACTLY why Elad is called...Hey Yaakov - <BR/><BR/>Yes, thats EXACTLY why Elad is called Elad (you think I would make stuff like that up just get more hits hits on my blog?)<BR/><BR/>And yes, its an amazing site they put up - Shavua Tov!Jameel @ The Muqatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890095633246557332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-1146296586858626972006-04-29T10:43:00.000+03:002006-04-29T10:43:00.000+03:00hey jameel,is that really why elad is called elad?...hey jameel,<BR/><BR/>is that <B>really</B> why elad is called elad??<BR/><BR/>I hopped over to their site. they've got a lovely slide show presentation.<BR/>thanx<BR/><A HREF="http://drybonesblog.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Dry Bones</A><BR/><I>Israel's Political Comic Strip Since 1973</I>Yaakov Kirschenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03167298051570083870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-1146236702504537872006-04-28T18:05:00.000+03:002006-04-28T18:05:00.000+03:00I went to Maayan HaShiloach a couple times, but bo...I went to Maayan HaShiloach a couple times, but both trips were before the current intifada.

I went through the Shiloach tunnel with 2 friends, and we came out by the pool. We planned on going back through the way we came, but there were a bunch of arabs sitting there who told us we couldn't, because people were coming through still and you can't pass them inside. Being naive American teenagers we figured they had a point. So we asked them to call us a cab. They said there was a taxi place across the street. We walked there and people started screaming "yehudim, yehudim"! I don't know why, it's not like a strange sight to see Jews, but something else must've been going on. Anyway we dodged a hail of stones, bottles and a little barking dog. We ran down the street and up the hill, but it was pretty scary.Shtenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720234365015335571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-1146225193661739302006-04-28T14:53:00.000+03:002006-04-28T14:53:00.000+03:00Jameel - do people still walk through the Mai Shil...Jameel - do people still walk through the Mai Shiloach water tunnels?
