Ramallah

I took a sherut into Ramallah to see what the oft reported about town looks like in the flesh. The place was bustling and hectic. The shops and the markets were on streets which radiated from the central Lion's roundabout. I wandered through the market and a man made me a present of some grapes. I wandered some more.. and some more.. and wasn't really finding anything exciting. So, I went into a hotel and asked the lady if there was anything of interest to see in the area. She looked at me in partial amusement: "This is Ramallah". I found the Palestinian Authority buildings thanks to a map she dug out for me and then got the sherut back to Jerusalem.
