The Holy Land

Been in Jerusalem for 4 days; yesterday departed drove up the coaset to Ceasarea, then Akko, in Tiberius on the Sea of Gallilee right now. 7 a.m., up early to do a couple work things. Yeah, yeah, bit I am here and able to a a bit of work, and that is too cool for words, for me.

Fun is being had!



That's the Dome of the Rock and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the background - the gold and black domes, respectively. I was sitting on a Roman wall in the garden of the high priest Ciaphases house.



Mud fun at the Dead Sea.

A new adventure unfolding

In less than 24 hours I will be standing in Jerusalem. ! I am flying out today to join a tour put together by Jackie, who was the president of LIA my last year in Munich. She & her husband repatriated to Israel over a year ago, and the ladies of the club entreated her to set up a tour. I decided that, when else would I ever go to Israel but in the company of friends? So here I go.

Of course when I booked the trip, I had not started working at my current job. And it's a very busy time at work, of course.So I am taking my laptop. Downside is that I'll be working some of the time. Upside, I should be able to post pictures.

... more later!
