It is exciting to be the first big bus of American Pilgrims back in the Holy Land. There are a couple smaller groups and some Indonesians, but the holy sites are empty and it is so marvelous for our folks to enjoy these holy sites without crowds and lines and rushing.
We have 53 great folks on our pilgrimage, including our granddaughter Bella and two wonderful families with all their kids and one with their grandchildren. Everyone arrived in good order, no luggage lost, and we’re up at the Sea of Galilee starting our glorious pilgrimage.
It is always nice to be right on the Sea of Galilee so people can walk down and sit along the shore and read the gospels, watch the fisherman going back-and-forth, and hear all the birds that Jesus heard.
