The German Colony is a neighborhood that was bought and built by German Templars – in their endeavor to hasten the second coming of Jesus.  When they were deported at the beginning of the second world war, the area was deserted, but after the establishment of the state, Israel bought the land, deducting the price from the reparations, and it is now a beautiful little corner of normality in Jerusalem.  We wandered through the old Terminal and were guided through the streets, entertained by stories of each house.   

Of course I have forgotten them already.

But it must be beautiful to live in a bubble in Jerusalem.  The air is so much better than the air in Tel Aviv…
