I'm back on line!!!

Greetings, I'm using my own computer. How I managed to connect to the internet is beyond me. Everyone with tons of compute experience has tried and failed.
Today we're headed to areas heavily bombed and refuge camps. I missed this type trip on Tuesday when I was sick.
About where we're staying: We're in a hotel in Gaza city. It's clean and comfortable but not fancy. It's walled with vines, some are flowering. They have a large covered patio restaurant that fills up in the evening with 90% men talking and smoking the houka (sure that's misspelled) There are very few women , if they come they're with a man and once in a while children accompany them. The food is good but "expensive" foe Palestinian food. Dinner was about $8.50. Only splurged there once.
There are many bombed buildings in Gaza. Sometimes a whole area has been destroyed other buildings were targeted leaving the buildings around them standing with minimal damage or none at all. Almost everyone we've met has lost a family member to the bombing. The stories of trying to survive are harrowing. I'll try to relate some to you this evening (now that I'm using my own computer I'll have more time)
Must go for breakfast and conversation with a reporter who writes for the New York Times.
