Where I am, about 3 km from (Acco or Akko (Acra) its very quiet, yes Friday afternoon approaching the 'Shabat' so quiet you almost hear the grass growing, then from my ride this afternoon, I did not hear ,see, or feel anything, just crazy Arab youth from neighbouring villages with their tractor - machines, but far away. We have fish pools, that's where I went and the path between the fish pools, seems a good lane for testing their 'hot rods'. As the sun now sets, all is quiet here and there, perhaps they feel its not nice to drift off the footpath into the water? Its migration time birds coming now from Eastern Europe to our warm climate?? So better these hot headed 'sods' keep away. I would be interested in welcoming our European Eastern feathered friends seeking warm Middle Eastern hospitality.
