The Moores came to town for 10 days in May. I was wonderful to have them come and visit. Heather brought four children: Rose, Dana, Kara, and Kaelin. Rose had her 6th birthday while she was here. We tried to visit as many sites as possible, and eat local foods. After a big day of touring we watched some Disney movies.
Kara played in a volley ball tournament. The students asked her which high school she played for. She said she was only in 7th grade. She could play as well as the college students.
Kaelin played some basket ball pick-up games with the students. His heighth made him fit right in.
Rose and Dana went on several cat hunts. They liked to find and feed the kittens around the Center. The kittens were very elusive until they brought real meat. The cats are pretty wild, but if given a chance they can be tamed.
I've been spending waaaaay too much time on this blog. I probably need a tutorial. I'm just going to post some photos and give up on the organization. Hope you enjoy seeing our time togehter.
This is the arrival board at Ben Gurion Airport. We always stand around anxiously awaiting our guests. It is usually about 45 minutes after the landed time that they finally appear. But we always come early just in case....
This is Rose saying a little prayer at the Church of the Annunciation in Nazareth
Rose on the balcony of the Jerusalem Center
Our dinner at the Tent Restaurant in Bethlehem. Dana's face shows her 'delight' in trying different foods.
A picture still on the doctors' door in the Jerusalem Center. There really are two doctors here.
Rose on Masada, with the cable car in the background
Kara and Kaelin at the Dead Sea applying mud. We know of a spot where you can get the mud along the shore line. It is a bit gravely, but it does the trick.
Kara at the Church of the Annunciation in Nazareth
Kara's name in sea shells on the beach along the shore of the Sea of Galilee.
Kaelin's first shawarma on Ben Yehuda Street. We had falafels too.
Kaelin floating in the Dead Sea. Can anyone do anything else?

The cats being fed. You had to be careful, because they would bite and scratch.
A random cat making sure he can make a quick get away from strangers.
One of my favorite stained glass windows. It is in the chapel at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem.
A view through the fence of the Anglican School. Heather, Shoshauna and Scott attended this school for a year in 1987-88.
King David and his harp, very close to the Upper Room in Jerusalem
A photo in honor of Sam Brown on Ben Yehuda Street. The girls bought bagels because they didn't want falafels or sharwmas.

We made it through Hezekiah's tunnel.
Resting along the way at Tel Dan
The pistachio tree at Tel Dan. We often have 80 students posing in this tree, 
Mt of Beatitudes Grounds. If I were ever to become a nun, I would like to be stationed in this spot.
Baghdadi's store in East Jerusalem. He still remembers all of us and gives gifts to the children.
