Shalom!
Jeff and I had a wonderful time in Israel. We learned and experienced so much and we're still processing it all (and recovering from jet lag). Here are a handful of photos from the trip ...

This is Mr. Cara (Jeff Davis). I'm so proud of my wife and all of her accomplishments.
I would recommend this trip to anyone and everyone. It's amazing how much the Jewish people have done for the land they were given in the late forties. It's a must see for people of all religions and interests in history. Don't forget to go for a float in the Dead Sea!

ps. great composition on the sea of galilee photo. oh and isn't weird to come across soldiers milling about with machine guns in other countries?!
