Digging it


Awoke this morning to the sounds of a tractor digging close by-usually a portent of bad news,or at least great mess.This time it seems that there's a plan to excavate the old khan in the centre of Tsfat,under the current bus park,behind my studio.Tsfat was known as the donkey-hire centre of the region [one of the rooms in our house was a stable,and it is well known that the Messiah,on his way from Meron to Jerusalem,will stop off in Tsfat to get his white donkey.] The khan was covered over after the last major earthquake in the 30's,but,interestingly,the donkeys remain in Tsfat,many with important jobs in the Municipality.
