we had a great time today! We finally found the house of Simon the Tanner by the Seaside in Old Yafo. We then walked all over the place going to the Antique Flea Market in Old Yafo and then to the Carmel Market. I don't know how many miles we put on our shoes but it has to be many.lol. We had so much fun in the Market. Bruce found some great buys on Kippas and even a Channukah Menorah. We bought a Kiddish Cup and Saucer. We also bought gifts for our children and a Shofar for a friend. I love the scarves these ladies wear and after today I will be sporting one. We went back to take pictures of the most beautiful Synagogue we have ever been in. Yesterday was Sabbath so we could not take pictures but today we were able to. The paint on the outside of the Temple even had gold flecks in it. It was totally beautiful. I told Bruce you can tell when a group of people love and respect the House of their God. It showed there. We bought some great fruit and cheese and fresh baked bread at the Market. For lunch we had huge sandwiches of Lamb and onions with Hummus and a spicy pepper sauce. It was great! I hope we get the same lunch tommorrow.lol. The only thing is we may not be able to be on the internet. We are driving down to Massada and The Dead Sea/Engedi experience. Engedi is mentioned in the scriptures. This is going to be a blast. I told Bruce I look forward to the good time we are going to have there. People float in the Dead Sea but the most famous story is the one of Lot's wife turning to a Pillar of Salt which they say is viewable still. I don't know if its the same Pillar of Salt but I am not wanting to know which one. I only know it really happened. To all our friends I say Shalom and have a great day! For us it is eight thirty pm and I am tuckered out. We are Seven hours ahead of the U.S. in time. This am was daylight savings time. We found out when we showed up for breakfast one hour too early.....go figure...I am for once on time and find out I have to wait. Oh the joys of being American!!!! Oh yes and we bought more Coca Cola!!! Every one loves it here!!!
In Jesus,
Bruce and Dana Klein
