I've been in Israel in 2013 and also in Lifta and was pleased to be able to visit some ruins in Israel in a way that I can't here in my home São Paulo -- unrestrictedly going in and outside the sites, looking at everything, taking pictures and even climbing and standing upon them. Besides Lifta, I visited the fort on Neve Ilan and the former british headquarter on the way between the villages of Kiriyat Yarim and Abu Ghosh.Edielson Jr.http://lcvii.deviantart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367167940587674244.post-34380265425298231422014-02-04T19:57:04.264+02:002014-02-04T19:57:04.264+02:00It's odd that you all ended up here, despite y...It's odd that you all ended up here, despite your very strong opinions about the artist, the fact that the pictures do not appear, and the language of the website not being your native tongue.
