Sad to be leaving with so much yet to be seen, but happy to be going home!
Tel Aviv down below 💕
And that beautiful Mediterranean Sea 🤗! Our flight path 👇…
And quite a storm brewing over Montenegro!

Ben Gurion Airport
The reality of living in a persistently persecuted country…hostages still being held by terrorists…
Bomb shelters in every public place…
And a nation just wanting to be sovereign and keep their families safe from harm, persecution, and hatred.
I am so grateful to have a president who has Israel’s best interests at heart 🙏💕
Last Days
After one, last meal with the remnant of our group, Dean and I set off to explore Old City Jerusalem one more time. It was early, cool and quiet. I don’t think I posted these pictures yet, but if I did, forgive me. The time is fleeting now that we are nearing the end of the trip.
Damascus Gate
And…more cats 😂😂
The quiet streets in Old City…
Garbage collection system for tiny spaces! 😆

A Jewish Thing
Not sure what the wall thingy with the pitcher is for, but the small, metal bar on the doorposts are the blessing mantels. Not sure what they’re called in Hebrew, but I’ll google it later 😂. Got Dean dropped off at the hotel, and I’m going down to ‘the square’. They’re having a street market of some sort😂😂😂👏👏.
Street Scenes Part II
Because it’s just so fascinating 😱!
Halvah slabs everyone was giving us samples, and it was delicious!
Even the ulta orthodox are enticed by the ‘idols’ that are cell phones 😬😂😂.
Our first toddy stop. She’s from New York, but decided to move to Israel four years ago. Her parents joined her two years ago. They are Jewish and wanted to be in the homeland.
Lunch 👆. From a deli counter 😊.
My new Israeli BFF 😂😂😂. Good to have friends in distant places.😂😂
Jerusalem New City
TOTALLY different ‘vibe’, in a good way 😂😂😂😂! Friendly people, no pressure sales, lots of sights and pleasant smells… and plenty of places to stop for a toddy and people watch! Sights from Menahuda Market, New City 😆.
