Marti & Jeffrey in Israel

Liz's mom Marti and her step-dad Jeffrey arrived in Israel on November 21st. Here are Marti and Jeffrey in the shuk (outdoor food market) in Jerusalem. While at the shuk we shopped for last minute food items for our Thanksgiving dinner.


What an amazing week we all had around Israel and Jordan. Here is a brief list of our adventures: we spent Thanksgiving Thursday cooking and entertaining at our house in Jerusalem. Then on Friday morning (11-24-06) Mom, Jeff and Liz met up with Liz's friend Gadi and took a tour of the Mt. of Olives and into the Old City.

We had what Liz's Mom is calling "the best hummos I have ever tried" at the legendary Abu Shukri Restaurant in the Old City. From there we spent Shabbat services with my new classmates at HUC and then back home for turkey left-overs. Saturday we drove down to Eilat and spent a couple hours walking around Timna National Park. We ate dinner at a terrific fish restaurant in Eilat called The Last Refuge.

Marti and Jeff look so relaxed. Must be that Liz and Saul magic.

Liz: add Machtesh Ramon Crater to our Mon travels. The blog is great as it helps us to remember what we've already forgotten!
