Trip to Hungary & Israel
We have now survived the jet-lag from a wonderful 12-day trip to the Holy Land in Israel which included 3.5 days in the Budapest, Hungary area. It was special to meet people in HU who still remembered Dad & Mom and the Hungarians showed wonderful hospitality and literally "rolled out the red carpet" for us. We will never forget the beautiful singing in their 3 churches we visited. We were blessed to stay 3 nights with hosts in their homes and learn more about their culture. Israel was incredible and we highly recommend that no one pass up an opportunity to visit there. We visited 54 Biblical sites and had a great Arab Christian guide.
1) Kathleen on a camel in Jericho, Israel
2) Following a swim ("floating") in the Dead Sea, seen in the background. Temperature was 106 degrees!
3) The Wailing Wall in Jerusalem
4) From the Mt. of Olives, overlooking the Old City (Jerusalem) which is behind the wall. The raised portion of the large wall is the closed (for now!) Eastern Gate.
5) Arriving in Hungary
