Here We Go Again



We probably walked 8-10 miles feeling more like 20! We went up one area that was so steep it was tough. We made it but it was all some of the group could take. This place is where the Philistines met up with the Israelites and the place many believe David fought Goliath. We even saw the dry brook where he picked up the stones. Many more stories but no time to blog it. Am tired and ready to rest.

Looks as if you have already had a full first day in Israel! Please tell my father, Jimmy McDonald, that his daughter says hello. I look forward to reading you blog everyday throughout your trip.

Thank you,
Jami :-)

Hey! That reminds me so much of hiking in the Appalachian Mt. Totally know what you mean but 20 mi. only when u walk roughly 10! It sure gets tiring.
