Just got back day before yesterday from being gone for 2 weeks. We spent a week in Greece and a week in Israel, and it was fantastic! The hardest part was traveling 25 hours back home to Missouri and getting back to this time zone. It was 8 hours ahead of Central time over there, so the awake/sleep times were basically the opposite of each other. I’m feeling pretty good that I only gained 1.8 lbs. back. We walked a lot almost every day, but I didn’t hold back on eating desserts. I probably ate more of the desserts than I did the main courses! And this was the first time I’d ever had chicken shawarma—we had it almost every day for lunch in Israel, and it was awesome. I’m glad to be back home, and now that I’m feeling “human” again, I’m glad that we went. I never thought in a million years that I’d get to visit the Holy Land and do all the things we were able to do...and to have walked where Jesus walked was an experience I’ll hold dear forever. Now it’s time to get back to working on these last 25 pounds!

Hey thanks you guys! Debbie, it was amazing—and humbling. I cried at the Wailing Wall... You’ll love it. And keyten77, we did go to Mykonos and it was great! We ate at a restaurant that had outdoor garden seating, and I had the best pasta (that they made themselves) while my husband got the “catch of the day”—and they served him the whole fish! We only caught part of the sunset, but it was still pink and pretty. And there were cool old windmills at the top of this one hill. And Santorini was amazing—the streets are all winding and made of marble and cobblestones. Beautiful flowers and cool old painted wooden doors. I must’ve taken 50 pictures just of cool old windows and doors! And of course there’s that iconic picture of the white building with the blue dome with the Mediterranean Sea in the background. We found similar domed buildings, and they were fantastic, but we would have had to have a drone to get a photo from that angle. Anyways, thank you, all, for your kind comments. I turned 55 last week, so we’ve waited a while for a trip like this. I hope you all have a great Memorial Day weekend, too! 😊🎈
