Today we went to the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum. Moving to say the least. They also have a memorial for the 1.6 million children who lost their lives in the Holocaust--even more moving. The theme of the children`s museum is `Heaven Without Stars`, and their memorial has one candle lit by thousands of small mirrors.
We visited the Israel Museum and saw the Dead Sea Scrolls.
We also drove to Bethlehem for lunch and to see the Sheperd`s Fields.
It has poured a very cold rain all day and we are all chilled to the bone.
We have to have our bags packed and ready for loading on the bus by 7:40 tomorrow morning, as we will be visiting the last few sites, Calvary, parts of the Via Dolorosa and the Garden of Gethsemane before heading to the airport for our 12 1/2 hour flight home.
I have had the time of my life, have enjoyed every single minute and wouldn`t have changed anything about the trip--but I am also more than ready to head home!
Thanks for the prayers.
Continue to lift us up as we traverse the sea on our way to Newark and then to St Louis and then home.
