An evening in the orchard

Madaba, Jordan
Friday, September 14, 2012

Late this afternoon we drove with a friend of friends to his father's orchard where we picked fruit, drank mint tree under a grape arbor, and watched the sun set.

A was particularly excited to be picking apples and declared that we needed to be "busy beavers."

Our friend explained that the grapes were raised from seedlings brought from Hebron, where his family lived before the 1967 war.

It was a lovely evening.
