What a last day in Jerusalem.  The weather is gorgeous!  Clear skies and mid 70’s.  I could not have asked for a better last day.

I walked Bet Lechem street and got my paper, silently saying good-bye and praying for those people who I have seen everyday for the last two weeks.  I take heart in knowing that I will be back in March.  I am already planning my trip and I know how blessed I am to travel to Israel as often as I do.

My allergies are acting up, so I headed to the pharmacy.  It is different in Israel.  You cannot buy anything over the counter—not aspirin, not cold medicine, nothing.  So, I go to the pharmacist and tell him I have a small cough from allergies.  I had picked up some cough drops, but he asked me if I wanted to be better (like the answer is no…).  So, he gives me some herbal cough drops with vitamin C and for the Winter.  Works like a dream.

I had lunch with David Meyers with Immanuel Tours.  They are our land agent in Israel and have become like family.  I never worry about the details while the tour is here, I know it is all taken care of.  Better than that, Immanuel Tours anticipates our needs, sometimes before we know it.   It’s really a blessing to work with Believers.

I am all packed.  I think I am at the 20 kilo (50 pound) limit.  Most of it is pottery, but that is okay.  Tomorrow will be a long day of traveling, but well worth being in Israel.

I’m having a farewell dinner with Will and some other friends at a new Sushi place in Jerusalem.  Really, there is something I never thought I would say.

Again, a big thank you to Greg for the help with the blog. Thank you for your prayers and for reading the blog.
