Medieval wall, modern barge

Tuesday morning, 12 November, Addahya, Palestine

Activity in the old harbor

   I'm posting some photos of Acre that I couldn't fit into last night's blog.  The harbor is Medieval, I think.  Wahib, Khitam's youngest brother - she is younger than them all - lives in an apartment there, where Khitam and her mother and two brothers lived after her father died.  The old city is Palestinian, with some Israelis living there.  The difference between old and new Acre is extraordinary and not surprising when you think of when each began, most of the new city being built in the last thirty or forty years, I think.
