The journey is over, but the memories will last forever! Picture 1 is of the Dome of the Rock, taken at the Temple Mount yesterday morning. You may have heard about the riots going on a short distance from here. Picture 2 is the Denver contigent of the group, safely back at DIA. Suzi had joined us, and departed from, Newark. For the brave of heart, at the end of this posting, Fr. Doug and his Speedos.
The trip is over and everyone has headed back home again. The picture from DIA is only a couple of hours old, but already the "normal" has crept back in -- the dogs need attention, and the cat does, but won't admit it. The young ones left their mark and we will be cleaning up. Laundry is in the laundry room, and the suitcases have been emptied of treasures and trash. Even as this happens, we think about those back in Israel and West Bank who can never hope to make a journey like this; and the people we've met who say, "Oh, yeah! I have family in California, and Michigan, and...you name it."
Please add comments, questions, send thoughts to dougest1@gmail.com, and I will be making some additional posts. For now, I think a short, controlled nap is in order. In my own bed. And even though it is Lent: Alleluia!
Doug
P.S. The Speedo, as promised: Ooops! It went to the head of the line. Sorry!
