Some vacation observations, as we complete the first leg of our trip: I need to go back and brush up on my modern Israeli-Palestinian history. Our hotel is on The Seam", so we have seen more of the Palestinian side. We didn't even go to the Church of the Holy Seplichure, because The Garden Tomb felt so authentic to us. Three days in one city seems to work best for us. By the fourth day, we are ready to move along. Rowdy doesn't like walking places, but I don't mind it. Sometimes we just don't feel like going through the hassle of buying souvenirs. The Jerusalem Forest was a lovely find.
