I'm glad you liked it, did you see the remnants of the houses, cemeteries, orchards, olive trees etc. of the 14,000 Palestinians that were driven from the villages on which Canada Park sits? Here are some names for your reference, Yalu, Imwas, Beit Nuba.

I don't know about opening an Abu Ghosh page - or Latrun. No one ever seems to read my tips on small places...I wrote an Abu Ghosh tip on my Jerusalem District page.
