Amjed in Bethelem

I didn't know how to use the camera, so I must apologize for all the errors, I'm just publishing it because I promised Amjed I would be uploading it, so that he could see it once I got back to Spain. My friend and I had the best time with him and all the patrons going into his shop, he didn't speak much English and my Arabic is very limited I can only say;

thank you: shukran

you're welcome: afwan
and the traditional greetings:

Hello: al salaam a' Laykum/marhaba
Hello: (reply) WA alaykum al salaam

Amjed I hope you have someone around to translate this for you; thank you so much for your warm welcome, for letting me film and take pictures of the place and of you, thank you again for the nice conversation and for the wonderful coffee, thanks!.

At the butcher's in Bethelem

Poultry, lamb and beef ready to be taken away from the refrigerated display window

More candy and sweets, it all looked delicious, and tasted great too!!!

At the Baker's

We asked a baker to let us in and take some pictures of the offer there, here you can see a lot of baking trays with different types of baklava, a traditional dessert in Middle East countries and India. It's made from filo pastry and nuts, lovely as a petit four with some tea or coffee.

Almonds in the street market

Food in the Holy Land

Easter in the Holy Land is a religous experience, but we all are made of flesh and bones and need to eat. I will present here onwards a few pictures that have to do with markets, stalls, butcher's and baker's in that Middle East region, this was taken in Nazareth's street market. I hope you enjoy this series.
