Goodbye Ashkelon, hello Tel Aviv!!!

Shalom to all our friends and family:

Today we have made our way to our hotel in Tel Aviv for a week of much deserved rest and relaxation. Although the excavation was a huge experience and we do have some great stories to tell, our bodies feel like the 50 year olds they are. So time to heal the muscle srains, decompress, and gear up for northern Israel.

Right now I am looking out our patio window which overlooks the sea. The beach is literally across the street from us and we can't wait to sit on our porch tonight to view an absolutely gorgeous sunset.




Okay so now I am able to download some pics because I am on an actual internet service...the first pic is taken at Ashkelon National Park, which is where we were digging at. Melanie is walking with some others as we are given a tour of the Canaanite gate of Ashkelon, which was uncovered over 20 years ago.

the second pic is of Melanie in Jerusalem as we climbed the outer wall of the Old City. Silwan is seen behind her. The third pic is of a double rainbow over Lake Linnhe from our hotel window in the Highlands....so as your can see, we really are traveling (and very sore) Pilgrims..........until next time....Peace.
