Our Arrival in Jerusalem

Our group of 14 (will be 15 on Friday) arrived in Ben Gurion airport on Wednesday late afternoon, after a very long flight of 11 hours with very little sleep. We each had a personal TV screen and many choices of movies and TV shows. No time for sleep! Oh and we lost 7 hours in the process, so long day (or two) required to get there.

The tour guide and bus arrived and took us to the Jerusalem area up very steep and winding roads, to our first stop at a very scenic kibbutz that served us a buffet dinner.

Dan and Joanne Bonder enjoy the kibbutz buffet after a long trip.

After dinner we drove to Mt. Scopus for a night time view of Jerusalem, a few fireworks and brief prayer.



Everyone our tour is very nice and getting along well, considering that most did not previously know the others.

No falafel found yet, but we are hopeful for the next day!
