Getting ready

Thanks for stopping by my Israel pilgrimage blog. I haven't left yet, at least not in body. However, my eyes have that faraway look, and I'm putting things into a suitcase. Bible, passport, bathing suit, the amazingly light new generation hiking boots, the 3 liter Camelbak water carrier which resembles something out of Dune. An interesting collection of herbal supplements which a friend asked me to bring from America, and a needlework project for the plane flight over and back.
