These enterprising young people sold me some very tasty figs and plums. The one standing next to me is names Jasmina and all the little girls loved my bracelet (that I always wear for Leah) and my ring (which I always wear for Toshi).
They were very skilled at the "hard sell." They pointed out that the fruit was "very good, very cheap, only 1 Euro!" and I couldn't refuse. Plus I was hungry! We had been on the bus, visiting sites for hours at that point and man oh man did those figs look good!
Here you can see me happily clutching the cones filled with bounties of the Earth. The kids made the cones out of a single sheet of notebook paper, rolled up and folded crisply at the bottom. Ingenious!
In the background you can see the remnants of this ancient walled town--on top of the hill is one of the towers from the wall (most of the wall was apparently still intact until this most recent war in the 1990s destroyed it and now it is being reconstructed).
