Trip Videos--Got About 40 Minutes?

It's easier just for you to go to Rowdy's blog and view the videos from there. Be warned that each video is roughly 19 minutes long. I will also add that the Israel video seems to make me look both my age and my body fat percentage, so that's not my favorite part of them. Also, they may raise questions like, "Where was that exactly?" or "How did you feel about (such-and-such-a-place)?" Feel free to ask those questions here.

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.
