We are having such a great time. We drove to Jaffa today and are staying at Beit Emmanuel Hostel. We parked the car and walked out into Old Yaffo. The sights and smells and sounds are incredible. The McDonalds called the hamburgers McRoyals.lol..Yes we found McDonalds again but still no cheese on the burgers. Ah the joys of being in Israel. We walked out into the area near the Mediteranian Sea. It was the best view ever. We walked the harbor and stood on the Wishing Bridge. No I didn't wish. It was way too wierd to think that people stand there and touch their horiscope signs and make a wish looking out into the Sea. People from all parts of the Middle East were there on Holiday as its Rosh Hashanna here which is the New Year. I am very thankful to be with Bruce who knows his way around fairly well. We saw people baking bread and pizza like bread in brick ovens in the walls. It smelled fantastic but unfortunately I ate at McDonalds. Cokes are super expensive here but I like coke so its out with the shekels anyway.
Tomorrow we are going to Simon the Tanner's house and the Great Synagogue. We are so excited to be alive and well and in Israel.
Jesus bless you!
