Each semester we have a Ramadan dinner where they serve traditional Arab food. Because of my design background they ask me to be in charge of setting up for the dinner. I was very excited the way it all came together and looked great. The students were willing to help with the set up and of course they enjoyed the evening meal. Some got into the spirit of the evening and dressed in traditional clothes they bought in Egypt.
Modern day Jericho is an Arab town with tropical summer weather and mild winters. It is known for the fresh produce that is grown there. On our way through town I couldn't resist stopping to buy some mangos, dates, figs, cucumbers, zucchini, grapefruit, oranges, and lemons. They were all fresh and tasted great! 
This is a picture of the Jericho tower that has been dated to about 8000 BC which is Neolithic or Stone Age. It is the oldest known man made structure in the world.
