Hi Chuck
Sounds like quite a pilgimage that you are on. Have you been able to share your trip with a female companion that you met at the Crow's Nest?

Try to absorb it all We\'re finally back from China and surprised to see where you are. Talk about jet lag! Israel is such an exciting and interesting country especially Jerusalem. We\'ll compare notes when you return.
Mystery of traffic tie up on Monday's trip to Jerusalem one half a million people attended the funeral in Jerusalem of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef who was the former Sephardic chief rabbi of Israel and founder of Israel's Shas party
Sounds like a great trip Just a quick reply. What cruise line is offering this trip and are all the day trips from ship or did you plan them ahead. I have often wondered about travelling into this part of the world, but always seems some upheaval is occurring.
Look forward to the next entry.

What a Trip Sounds like Tauck is doing a first class job on this tour. I wish we could be there with you. I am really impressed with where you have been and what you are seeing. I can't wait to go there. How special it is to be in the places where Jesus once lived, walked and performed miracles. I recognize from the Bible all the places you have traveled to and you are making it come alive for me. Many thanks for the time you are putting in on this to communicate it to all who you are sending it to. Safe travels and God bless. Rick Windsor
Almost there Chuck you have made the trip come alive. This is now on my bucket list of things to do. Your blog is very descriptive and clear. Safe journey friend.
Tel Aviv Wonderful photos, Chuck. I'm sorry Dale and I cancelled our trip during the Arab Spring uprising.
Your trip is most definitely on our bucket list.
Going up to The Land "Who walks four cubits in Israel is assured a place in the world to come" Johanan. Talmud : Ketubot,111a. I am so happy for you, chaver (friend)! One day , G-d willing, we'll go up to the Holy Land as well.
Your detailed synopsis of what you were doing gave me a real insight into what you were experiencing. It really sounds like a great trip. Wish we were there.
All is well here in the Cascades.

Hi to Bill and Jo-Ann Hi Chuck
I didn't realize you were out of town - and back in your hometown!
Great photos. I love the ones of the Yearling sales - it looks like the "Barrett-Jackson" auction but for horses.
I toured the 1000 Islands years ago in a top-forty band. Beautiful country up there!
Please say hello to Bill and Jo-Ann for me from "Marina Jack".
Safe travels - you will be missed at my upcoming performances.
