Well we were getting organised to celebrate the jewish new year when we smelt smoke.. at first we thought someone was doing a barbque but then it became obvious that the smell was of burning grass and trees came from the valley...many of the people had gone away to family to celebrate the holiday and must have been quite shocked to see the the burnt ground around their houses. By chance on while on my way home I saw the town mayor arriving home , after the fire had been put out and looked visably shaken . The day before new year I drove to Rosh Pinna. To get there on has to cross the Jorden river. The bridges were built for tanks during the 6 day war to drive onto the golan over the river Jorden. About a year and a half ago the roadworks started in order to build one bridge as opposed to two oneway bridges (see picture below) that I had known ever since arriving in the goan 21 years ago!!
