I’m actually on the 5th floor (with a view of the Mediterranean), but I first touched my feet on the earth here about 17 hours ago.  My seat mate on the EL AL Airlines flight from Madrid to Tel Aviv was a young man who serves in the Israeli Army. Now, that was an interesting conversation!  All in all, the trip went very smoothly. My camera battery charger sort of ‘blew up’ this afternoon, sending me into momentary (almost) panic, and about an hour and a half zipping around in taxis, finding a Nikon shop and buying a replacement.  (Just for the record, it’s not my fault.  The charger IS universal in terms of voltage and I have an adapter, but for some reason… )

The group dinner gathering this evening was great.  Evidently all 200+ attendees did make it, though some luggage is still traveling.  Mine arrived with me, fortunately.

Joel Rosenberg made a wonderful presentation this evening after dinner, and I am glad to discover that he is, indeed “leading” the whole group! He has a great sense of humour.  If you have never read any of his novels, they are a must for anyone interested in End Times prophecy.

I am truly pleased that all of you are “following” me and leaving comments.  I honestly feel that you are all here with me!  We start touring early tomorrow, and I have to pack up before retiring.  Stay tuned; reporting next from Galilee!
