We played soccer with these kids just outside the walls of the Old City, then we convinced them to take a picture with us... just before they started throwing rocks at Mandy. Oh, the games of the local children!
This class was holding school on the rooftop. How cool is that?! And their teachers carry huge guns- that'll keep 'em in line! The kids are still crazy though, and they LOVE using their English on us. The Palestinian kids especially love waving at us as we walk past their homes and they always seem to be running around causing trouble. The most shocking thing is the bullying. You have to be tough to grow up here I guess. But they're just like kids anywhere else and it really has made me realize that people are just people.
