We Have Touched Holy Ground....
After starting out in Omaha with a two hour delay, we had an uneventful flight to Newark. I know I was not the only one with a sense of awe looking out the windows of the plane and airport to the Statue of Liberty and the rebuilding of ground zero....but our hearts were yearning..much past that looong plane ride almost halfway around the world, to step out of that plane and place our feet in the holy land.
It is definitely an emotional experience. We quickly moved through passport check and Ruthie "Rootie" warmly greeted us and ushered us out to our bus. We headed to south Tel Aviv to what was biblical Joppa.
I am having trouble uploading photos from this tablet, but hope to get an album going.
We headed back north through the city and spent some time in Ceserea by the sea. It is a very windy day, but that didn't stop us from wandering around Herrod's palace and the theater and along the sandy beach of the Mediterranian Sea and taking photos by the ancient water canals. We are now all settled in at the Ramada in Netanya. As I write the waves are beating the beach outside our window. We are grateful that we all arrived healthy and safe. After meeting downstairs for supper in an hour we will head back to our rooms for a good nights rest. We #re looking forward to another adventure filled day tomorrow. I will also keep working on trying to get some photos uploaded. Thanks for all your prayers on our behalf.
