Galilee: Fieldwork

Hi everyone! Sorry for the delay in updating my blog. I've been busy conducting interviews up north and my hands are actually sore from typing them all up. So, I'm going to limit the commentary on this post to try and avoid a full-blown repetitive strain injury. There will be some nice pictures though, promise!


First, this is the valley I study, called Bet Netofah in Hebrew and Al Batouf in Arabic. Be sure to click on this image for a larger view!


This tree in the valley is rumored to be over 3,000 years old.


Here is a picture looking over the inner courtyard of the youth hostel in Nazareth that I use as a homebase when I'm in the Galilee.


You can see the city of Nazareth from one of the other balconies.

More to come...
