You deserve photos!

We have over 1000 photos and I shot more than 250 videos (approximately 180 minutes worth, with some lasting five seconds and others 10 minutes). The next step is for me to put them on either Flickr, Picasa or both, and upload the now-converted videos to YouTube or edit them into some movies with iMovie.

But until I complete those tasks, I've chosen one from each day to show here:

Day 2 (Day 1 was on the plane): Monday, August 4, Neot Kedumim, The Zimon Five.


Day 3: Tuesday, August 5: Jewish Quarter, The Old City of Jerusalem, Window for Chanukiah (the rule is to show the remembrance to others and we put the lights outside for others to see the commemoration of Judah Maccabi's victory; these cases are outside many, many homes througout the Old City's Jewish Quarter and illuminate the streets in the winter celebration)



Day 4: Wednesday, August 6, Bet Guvrin National Park archeological dig where my daughter discovered a step that led to a chamber 9 meters down that had been suspected as being there but had yet to be found. Pretty cool.


Day 5, Thursday, August 7, camel ride in the Negev from the Mamsheet Bedouin Tent location where yes, we did attempt to sleep in tents and wake up at 3am to climb Masada. So much more about that and my trip to the front of the bus that morning in another post.


Day 6, Friday, August 8, sunrise over the Dead Sea from the Roman Ramp as we climbed Masada. The Dead Sea has retreated nearly a mile in recent years (I forget the exact amount of time, but it's been faster than they anticipated).


Running out of steam but will post a few more later today or tomorrow.
