A weekend with friends

A lovely weekend is coming to its end. Friday evening, we went out for dinner together with some friends. Bryan, Cham, Paz and Sebastien joined us at the tapas restaurant Sol in west Jerusalem. Afterwards, we had a drink at the arty record/book café-cum-bar Uganda, where Anna joined the ranks.

Saturday, Femke and me walked a bit in the Old City, then had a lunch at Amigo Emil, a restaurant in the Christian part we have not tried before. Their kebab Haleb (kebab from Aleppo) was spicy in a nice way. Afterwards, we spotted a beautiful wooden chest with intarsia that we might go and by on Monday. I think it will compliment our Syrian table, and it will definitely be a souvenir from our Jerusalem time that we will bring with us through life.
In the afternoon I met Fredrik, Michelle and Anna at the Cinemateque to see the very dark and violent (but still beautiful) film Pan’s labyrinth.

Today, we had a slow start, reading the newspaper in bed, then driving to Abu Gosh for brunch and milkshake at the Elvis restaurant together with Anna. They have lovely milkshake there, but the hamburger could be better. Afterwards, we took a refreshing walk in the lush green forest around the old road to Jerusalem, crossing the Jerusalem hills. Femke spotted some cute deers!
