Things that are Missing

Missing because the whole time in Israel so far, I've been traveling with friends, which leaves a lot more time to go out for dinner or a glass of juice on the streets of Tel Aviv, but a lot less time for blogging. To be caught up on eventually... TBD when exactly, but a preview of things to come in the mean time:

Bailey and I went to see Petra back before Yael's wedding. The Treasury - the most famous of Petra's 2,000 year old artifacts

Irina and I in the old city of Jaffa, with the sun setting over Tel Aviv

The old city of Jerusalem, with the Dome of the Rock prominently in the middle

Jerusalem's Wailing Wall on Shabbat

Floating in the Dead Sea - it's weird, you really don't sink! Spending a full two days here

The 2,000 year old mountain fortress of Massada features prominently in Israel lore. We climbed in time for sunrise
