Welcome to the blog!

We are two people, one dog and three legs...well technically ten. But this is our story about going through life with some obstacles we have to maneuver and how we go about doing just that! And by the way, our life is fewer obstacles and more awesomeness. Stay tuned for more awesomeness...

Cat in ancient olive press.


Having a great time on this trip Anna has sent me on. Today at the old city of Capernaum this cat kept following us around. Note- we did not actually press the cat into evoo. But I thought anna would like to know that even in the holy land she will have lots of little fury friends to pet when we next visit.

Visiting Another's Holy Place


Started our day at the Western Wall. It was very interesting to be at a place that is so importent to others. I guess I felt like I couldn't quit get into the wall itself. But behind it in the courtyard I did resonate with two things. First, a series of six silver stars on a roof top with "Remember" written beyween them in memeory of those lost in the holocaust. And two, the story from our guide about the moroccan section of the old city whose families were kicked out and whose houses were demolished to make the courtyard/plaza we were standing in.

Interesting things to try and together in your mind.

The Bishop and his bus


Well here we are. Staring out at the old city from the mount of olives. Across the valley of Har Megiddo.

Long day(s) of travel but well worth this first glance.
