Driving into Jerusalem was such a thrill!
We had a taxi driver from Tel Aviv offer to drive us to Jerusalem. He was 87 years old, he was amazing and acted as our tour guide as we drove the hour to Jerusalem. Rocks, sand and more rocks. But finally a view of the Holy City and what a thrill it was to drive into Jerusalem and find our apartment that would be our home for a week while we explored this historic city. We got settled and then our guide came and picked us up for our first glance of the old city walls and some panoramic views of Jerusalem and Bethlehem. Amos Ron was our guide, an Israeli Jew who loves mormons, we had fun with him.
Israel, Jordan & Egypt
We arrived in Tel Aviv to begin our amazing adventure in Israel. We were of course very tired so we went for a walk on the beach and then crashed. But first thing in the morning we went swimming at the beach. Playing in the waves was so fun and the water was soooo warm. We loved it for about an hour and then got cleaned up for a day of exploring. We are with our friends Dean & Heather Nish from Cranbrook, B.C. We had so much fun exploring with them. First day we took the bus to Ceasarea. A city that Herod built that has lasted these hundreds of years, well some of it.
