good times indeed

so I am here the night before I fly out from Tel Aviv to Cairo and my heart is full. In the last couple of days I’ve been able to visit some places that I am still in awe about. Places like Gethsemane, the Garden Tomb, and Bethlehem are not places that one would normally expect to see in their lifetime. It’s been an interesting range of feelings too as each day continues. I’ll write more on this later, but sufficeth to say, standing where something great happens does very little for me, but working to wrap my mind around a principle or concept in a concerted fashion has opened my mind to some great insights and thoughts which I’ve been consistently journaling. So after a Christmas in the Holy Land, I’m loving life. Jerusalem, and Israel as a whole, has really grown on me. I’ve spent quite a bit of time away from the groups and such (as me and Mikale are pretty much on our own most of the time) I’ve gained a small appreciation for their preservation of, and adherence to, many of their customs and nuances that make them a unique people. I would love to make my way back here again someday.

But that is today, off to Cairo in the morning. The adventures will continue. Stay tuned.

    Oh I love you blog, travels in Jerusalem are life changing and I can not wait to chat with you when you’re home. I’ve stayed on the Ein Gev kibbutz as well! The Galilee is so much more beautiful than I expected. I hope you make it to Cairo despite the current situation – Stay Safe! No more car accidents!
    Hope to run into you again in the not so distant future.
