I Was Glad When They Said Unto Me, "Let us go up to the House of the Lord"

So the psalmist spoke for all pilgrims! After air travel over two days and a good night's sleep, I am "standing in the gates of Jerusalem." There is no place like Jerusalem!

Today's weather is quite mild for January, beautiful and sunny. According to our friends, there has been little rain in December. And since this is the rainy season, join me in praying for rain. Of course, the mild and dry weather is great for the tourists but detrimental to the country.

Our plan is to walk in the old city today. The sights, sounds and smells are delightful to the senses.

Tomorrow, we will explore Masada and walk the En Gedi nature reserve. Hopefully, we can post some pictures.
