Posted by Sana Awartani-Tibi on June 8, 2008 #41242 It's amazing how technology can narrow distances and move you emotionally. I try whenever I can, or allowed, to visit my ancestors' home town, Awarta. No matter where I travel East or West through out this whole world, I never feel any place as a home as I do when I visit Awarta. To me, its soil, its smell, old houses and its stone oven are really truely the meaning of authenticity. I would like to applaud whoever was behind this idea to make it materialized. I would also like to thank so very much those who took these pictures because they tried to grasp the essence of the place. Now I can show my children and my international friends what I have been attempting to describe. All my gratitude.
