Olives, olives, olives. I have just arrived to a country, that's probably the best at making olives. This is Palestine. It's a country where sixty percent of the land is filled with eight million olive trees. Some of these trees are thousands of years old. Older than Rome. And from each tree the Palestinians make wonders. They take the olives and turn them into gold. Best Olives!
