Lee Anne and I got an amazing Old City Tour from my uncle. We visited the Church of the Holy Sepulcher (the site of Christ's crucifixion), the Christian Quarter and the Southern Wall of the Temple Mount.
We continued our Holy City adventures at the Shuk... there is nothing like it before its closing on Friday afternoon... In fact, a religious guy went around blowing the shofar to signal the start of the Shabbath. We then made an incredible Friday night dinner at Maya and Liron's house.
We spent Lee Anne's last day in Israel at the old port city of Yafo (Jaffa). This is us with Tel Aviv and the boardwalk in the background. Our last "supper" was at a delicious classic Israeli style restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean Sea... it was breathtaking.It was so much fun having a good friend visit me all the way in Israel. Very rarely do I get to show Israel's riches to someone who isn't familiar with it already. At each step of our trip, as I saw Lee Anne's amazement with Israel, my excitement for being here this year only grew.
