Dutch tulips in Jerusalem?

.
The two signs on the side of this van was what I was after at the time, in 2008.
Had I known that James would start his Weekend Reflections meme in the future, I would have focused more on the car windows.
.
This is what the Hebrew means in English.
Reflected is Christ Church and their guest house, located in the Old City near Jaffa Gate.
.
It is the oldest Protestant church in the Middle East, built in 1849.

Inside the glass showcase you can read some of their history.
.
For ideological reasons, Christ Church is not my favorite place, but they DO have an unusual little bench inside the guest house.

  4. If more people knew Jerusalem & Israel, there would be less heat and more understanding.

    I'm disgusted with the shallow view of today's situation that demonizes Israel and ignores EVERYTHING WORSE going on in the world.

    A black president is de-legitimaized in factually incorrect ways...but it's not racism.

    Darfur, Myanmar, etc are all cool,but Israel is evil...


    Sigh...thanks for listening
    and thanks for posting the truth EVERYDAY, Dina.

  9. Love the funny tulips and the unusual bench. That church has a strange history, which I didn't know at all.

  12. Two memes in one post! The little bench is very charming and the reflection in the car is good.

  13. I like the reflection and the tulips. I think it's really neat about your school being asked to help design the new flag.
