By the time we found the rental van, figured out how to disable the security keypad so it could be driven, discovered CC's smartphone would not have any sort of roaming service (read: NO GPS), looked at the small Tel Aviv map we had in his pocket, and talked to a pizza guy who let us call the rental landlord and confirm our location, it was after 1AM when we finally found our little rented room.
The next morning, Twinkle Toes, CC, and I walked around the corner to find a little grocer. It didn't take her long to decide she would pray for a calling here. The grocery store pulled her in! Cheeses, breads, hummus dip, cookies. They had great Israeli and American foods.
We ventured out to use this "down day" in Tel Aviv.
CC, unwilling to lose the one good parking spot he finally found in the middle of the night, used a compass to help us walk to the coastline.

This sounds like the best way to see Israel! How could you not love such a place? My mother loved the people! I remember President Bush loved being where J was. The closet physical place to G on this earth.
Yes, it would be wonderful. Thank you for sharing outside your family.

I can't even begin to imagine what being there must have felt like. It's my dream. I told my husband I'd rather go there than anywhere. Walking where Jesus walked...I think I would be in a constant state of awe. Unfortunately, due to my husband's job, we're unable to travel there (or any of the 'hot' spots in the world) now or in the near future.
Thank you for sharing!
