A Very Special Thanks to the People who made this Experience possible in the Holy Land

The Wonderful People at the US Embassy -- My murals were not an official embassy project, but the people at the U.S. Embassy helped me make my connections for seven murals.  Thank you Molly and friends for making this possible.

Fareed Mahameed was the first connection made by the US Embassy.  What a gracious and helpful man!

Saleh and Luda -- parents of Fareed, who live in Um-El-Fahem.  They welcomed me into their home with open arms.  
    
Administration, Staff, and all of my Habibis  -- at the Hekma School in Um-El-Fahem.  The delightful students were thrilled to practice their English and paint.

Mahmoud --  the best student translator in the bunch!

Mohamed Anis  -- for (unsuccessfully) trying so hard to convert me to Islam. 

Luda and Amina -- for giving me such a wonderful taste of Palestinian food.

Maria and Rami -- fellow travellers with adventures near and far from home

Leon -- the friendliest person in Nazareth, the first to show me Arab hospitality.
