A boat ride on the Sea of Galilee

Taking a wooden boat across the Sea of Galilee was surreal! After we toured the Jesus Boat Museum we  walked out and waited for the boat that we would ride across the Sea of Galilee.  I think everyone on the trip had their favorite part of the trip or of Israel that just meant so… [continue reading]

Room of the Last Supper

Vad Hashem The Holocaust Museum Israel

After ending our fourth night in Israel at the Ramada in Jerusalem, we began day five at Vad Hashem, The Holocaust Museum.  Unbelievable.  Horrific.  Inspiring.  Those are the words that came to mind directly after leaving The Holocaust Museum in Israel.  I am typically not a lover of museums, but The Holocaust Museum captivated me. … [continue reading]

My first Falafel at Birkat Ram Restaurant

It was at Birkat Ram Restaurant that I had my first Falafel.  It was the first “on your own” meal.  My husband and my father-in-law both kind of hinted at skipping a meal.  Are you kidding me?  We’re in Israel!  When else would we have the opportunity to eat the foods offered there?  So what… [continue reading]
