Shalom from Tel Aviv!


(Tel Aviv, Israel)


It has been a long day of travel, but flights were all on time, so can't complain! Decided we need to learn to speak French if we continue to fly on Air France....Wow! We got to Tel Aviv about 4 pm (8 a.m. your time) and boarded a bus to the Blue Bay Hotel which looks out over the Mediterranean Sea. We have to be at breakfast at 7 a.m. tomorrow, then we take off for Caesarea, Megiddo, and Beth Shean and Beth Alpha. The weather is incredible...70's or 80's! David's phone does not seem to have service here (and he's saying bad words!) but we'll see if we can get it figured out. Our tour guide met us in Atlanta, and he is full of information. He told us today that the current location of Israel was actually the second choice for a homeland...the first was...UGANDA! Go figure... Ok, since we haven't slept in many hours, we'd better sign off and get some rest. Will try to post some pictures tomorrow. We are safe and happy, just know that! Good night from the Holy Land....
