On January 13, 2018 our pilgrimage group arrived in Te Aviv. We loaded up on the bus with Maher our driver and Sonia our guide and drove into the the gathering gloom of winter rush hour in Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv looked like any other big city. Lots of building going on. Our guide says that there is a shortage of places to live.
The sun was setting as we headed out of town and up the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. It is always fun to see the foreign equivalents of the name brands like McDonalds, Pizza Hut, and KYFried Chicken, but we drove on.
The rain cleared up. Rush hour looked like any road in any city in the world. No camels or donkeys on the highway.
We were boked into a Ramada Inn up the coast. I had a room with a balcony. Overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
This was the view off the balcony in the morning.
And the view as we loaded into the bus to move on for the day. We were not staying a second night at this hotel.
These were some curious birds. Maybe ordinary grackels? Maybe some exotic israeli birds.
So, on Thursday, January 14th our pilgrimage took off to encounter the Lord and to see the Bible in living color.
