Shabbat was a glorious day. Bright and sunny and temperature in the mid 70’s. I visited and ate lunch with friends at Focaccia, walked around Jerusalem and ate again. It’s not a visit to Jerusalem with eating at Focaccia. It was indeed a time of resting and refreshing. Today dawned another bright and crisp morning. […]
(read more)Shabbat Shalom from Jerusalem! I do not know where to start. As Murphey’s law would have it, my Blackberry was on the blink and I could not get to another computer until after the group had left Israel. The Greek Isles of Mykonos, Rhodes, and Patmos were as gorgeous as ever. The waters were so […]
(read more)The group left this morning at 1am headed back for the States. There were several passengers that had planned on staying a few days after the tour and they are seeing Israel on their own. As aways, a really great group of Believers and I will miss them. Our hotel, Prima Royale, really put on […]
(read more)I promised that I would try and do a little blogging while on the tour. I did not realize just what I had promised! But today, I will catch up some. Today is my son, Will’s, birthday. So, first things first: “happy birthday!” I have been so blessed to watch Will grow in the Lord. […]
(read more)Shalom from a very hot Jerusalem. I guess Summer has arrived and would guess it is in the 90’s today with a very light breeze. Last night, Will and I went to the Western Wall to celebrate Shavuot. (The weather was warm, but bearable.) It is one of the three holidays, that Jews gather in […]
(read more)The weather has been somewhat cooler than Thursday. I would say in the mid 70’s to low 80’s rather than the 90 degree mark. A gentle breeze is also here, but alas, no rain. Very quiet Shabbat. I love the contrast between the hustle and bustle of Jerusalem during the week and then the quietness […]
(read more)Shabbat Shalom! It was hot yesterday. I think I heard that it topped out at around 90 degrees. I know, its a dry heat, but let me tell you, that is still hot. Had a wonderful visit with the Immanuel Tours family. Dinner was in Tel Aviv in an area called Neve Tzedek at a […]
(read more)Israel is still celebrating their 60th anniversary, with parades and celebrations all over town. Yesterday, was the big Jerusalem Day parade. Sunday evening will see the celebration of Shavuot or Pentecost at the Western Wall. I am really glad to be here during this time. I confess, I did have the almond croissant from Aroma […]
(read more)Will and I ate well last night. The pecan pie was delicious (I must be getting use to the oven) and the spaghetti was pretty good too. We had a quiet evening and I turned in early. It takes me a couple of nights to get over the jet lag. It was a gorgeous evening […]
(read more)It is hard for me to believe it is Tuesday. I left Dallas on Sunday for Israel and all in all, the trip went well. I forgot about the security issues until was in Newark airport. The gate for the Continental flight to Tel Aviv is the last gate in the terminal. I find that […]
