Rucheli and I had an AMAZING trip to Lifta this week. It is an abandoned old neighborhood that was last inhabited in 1948. There are about 50 stone building still 'standing' (and I used that word loosely). There are some squatters who live there but mainly it is like a nature preserve.Rucheli wrote an amazing blog about it so until I can get to it, I shall point you there - Rucheli's WritingsAnd if you want to check out the awesome pics, head over to our Flickr pages!

Why? 1. to take pics of each other and 2. to help each other climb!Some favorite pics:
