Sun and strawberries in Jericho

The oasis of Jericho

Hisham's Palace in Jericho

Yesterday, I drove down to Jericho together with Liz, my new boss in Washington. It is such a bless to come down to this desert oasis situated more than 200 meter below sea level in the Jordan Valley. Here, there is summer year round. The Palestinian farmers in the area grow bananas, oranges, lemon and vegetables. I also bought fresh strawberries. Imagine – in mid December!
