The Arrival

The first morning. The first things where those typical things you’re doing in the first days: Tiredly having Breakfast and playing more games to remember names. Finally we got to know each other more than just by name. Everyone was drawn on paper and you could fill yourself with details of you’re personality. A film was watched: ”Strangers” (“Star of David” provokes “person with Arabian newspaper”, but then they both have to flee of “skinheads”). Lunch was bread again. First wondered as there would anytime something else, but they were calmed in the evening. Some lady showed us a small part of the monastry. The afternoon was mainlyfree time. Some had first contact with Natives: Soccer with small boys from Benediktbeuern. In the evening we made a big fire a many songs were sung, while the Germans again had to accept that the Palestinians just know theirs better. In general it was a day with many arrivals: Someone in the early morning, another person at noon and in the middle of the night we could welcome Lina and George from Bethlehem.
