The last few nights here have been rather noisy, but now it is the Sabbath and the night is still. I'm going to take advantage of the quiet and try to get some extra sleep. Tomorrow I will post some of my pictures and video from today's adventures in the Old City.
Peace!
Peace!

Hi Aaron,
Don't know your wherabouts presently, but hope your are experiencing Israel as fully as I did many years ago.
Some places that your might want to explore if you are headed south would be Ein Gedi Judean Nature Reserve where there are many trails to explore. I took the short 1 1/2 hr one to the Falls. It was a very hot day in May and we stood beneath the Falls and let them rain down on us fully clothed. Many wild animals to see. " Now it came about, when Saul returned from pursuing the the Philistines, he was told saying, 'behold, David is in the wilderness of Eingedi'" 1Sam. 24:1
It might be too cold to take a walk into the Dead Sea, but at least stick you finger in its water to experience the oily/salty condition.
Yes, big contrast of the hustle and bustle of Jer., compared to Shabat. On Shabot we walked from our hotel,The Kikar Zion just off Ben Yahuda, to Great Synagog to a Jewish Service. A Jewish guest in our hotel from Chicago tagged along with us (first time she had been to synagog in 25 years).
I will point out some of the memorable sites in Galilee later.
Praying for all 4 of you daily
Look forward to hearing all the details when you return,
Love G/Ma
