Hello from Israel!
I am proud to report we all made it home
(and by home I mean Jerusalem! isn't that fun to say?!) safe and sound.
No sickness or accidents- just a magical time spent in Egypt!
There is no possible way to say everything I want to say about Egypt so the best way I think is to split it up into a post a day and just give an overview with a few details.
Day #1 we loaded onto busses and drove down towards the Red Sea along the same route that Lehi took out of Jerusalem. We stopped at two Tels- Beersheba and Arad. Tel Beersheba was a place Abraham, Jacob and Isaac spent time in. It is the where Abraham built a well and it used to be a government outpost. Tel Arad was a fortress and the only surviving Israelite temple complex. We actually got to go into the Holy of Holies!

That night we spent at a Kibbutz near the border of Israel and Egypt.
The people at the Kibbutz took us up into the Mountains to the sand dunes.
The sand dunes were outrageous! Soft cool sand, moutains, sun-setting, moon rising and billions of stars.
We played in the sand (flung ourselves down and tumbled around) then had a spiritual devotional.
After the sand dunes the Kibbutz put on a BBQ and pool party.
We had american burgers and swam!
Such a wild night!
