Fantastic trip, and interesting know tha strong situation for palestine people.

One of my most memmorable travels, get to see all the historic places I once read in the bible!

Shechem We were not suppose to drive the rental van through Palestinian Areas but we did, although we did not take any photos (well I did not as I was driving) it sure gave the kids the difference in living conditions.   Jerusalem, Israel We got to Jerusalem and stayed at a nunnery just ou…

Seriously...
