Twenty-eight hours and thirty two minutes from door to door, here I am in Israel. Funny, though, that one of the first things that I noticed were the corn fields along with straw bales and beef cattle grazing in the fields among citrus fields, olive groves and bougainvilla! Flights were on time, meals were served (Lufthansa is a first-class airline) and wine was free, despite the short night. I, among not so many, had my luggage on arrival, although it was interesting to get the person at the Delta gate to check my bag all the way to Tel Aviv!
You might say that I've "gonet'the lake" as our hotel looks out on the Sea of Galilee, which they refer to as "The lake". This morning we visited the church of the Loaves and Fishes (the feeding of the Five Thousand) and the church of the Primacy of Peter, where Jesus appeared to Peter after the resurrection. ("Who do you say I am? Feed my sheep." )
Lunch was in a local place with a delicious falafel sandwich and "Hebrew" coke right out of the glass bottle like in the olden days.
Hope you're enjoying the trip so far--I am (although my blog page first came up in Hebrew!) Feel free to look at our group blog http://lptshlp2009.blogspot.com
