See how filled with excitement the Safari was?

But as for my dialogue with the visitors from Nablus, our little conversation has ended – I sent the pictures to the guys and they said thanks and goodbye.  so I don’t think that I’ll be visiting them in Nablus any time soon.  

The last time I was in Nablus was over fifty years ago.     My ex did business there and we visited the manager frequently, even going up to the Mount of the Samaritans on Passover.  The secretary’s father was high priest there.  Her name was Iftikar, and I was sure we would be visiting frequently in the near future when we made peace. 

I was sure I’d be sitting in the beautiful courtyard in Nablus and showing Tel Aviv to the extremely sophisticated and pleasant people I’d met there, entertaining them in our little apartment.  But I never did anything to make that happen.
