Sorry I haven't written for so long because I didn't have a computer so I couldn't write. We went to the pool everyday and we got snacks everyday (we got a snack pass) and we went to this place called Dannyland. It was games, Wii, computers, fozzball. It was heaven for Ben.
On Wednesday, we got Jerusalem and then we went swimming and had dinner in the hotel which was really really good and the beef (kosher) tasted like short ribs - but not as good as my dad's.
On Thursday, we went to the Israel museum. I liked the youth part the best. They had this truck, with all of the parts of the truck, but without the truck. And then we went back to the hotel and met my cousins and we all went swimming.
On Friday, we went to the City of David. We went in these water tunnels. The water was freezing. It was so dark, if you didn't have a light, too bad for you - it was so dark. So Ben and I used our camping headlamps. Our cousins used key chain light. They think they found part of King David's castle. Miri told us the story of David. Ben was King David and I was Bat Sheva, the wife that he stole. Then we went swimming, of course. We walked to Ammunition Hill. On the way back we were only allowed to whine after the green gate. Because we had to walk all the way up the hill to the car.
On Saturday, we walked to the Old City. It was too long and too hot. We went to the shook and I got a necklace. Ben got a jersey. Who cares. Then we went swimming. For dinner, we went to Speghetti. After dinner, while the adults were talking, we played tag and Nadav won.
Today, we went to the Dome of the Rock. But we didn't get to go in. That was the disappointing part. The top was made out of gold. And then we visited Grandma Ruthie and then we visited Sheri and then we drove back to Pa Jay and Elaine's house. Then swimming. Then dinner. Now this. Now bed.
Now I am so tired from all the exciting things that you have done............. and I am so jealous. What an amazing time you are having. We miss you so, sooooooooo much! Much love, hugs and XXXXXXXs
ReplyDeleteWow - it all sounds incredible.
ReplyDeleteKeep having fun and I will see you soon.
Love...
It sounds as though you have walked the entire city of Jerusalem. Lucky you!! Can;t wait to see your necklace from the shuk. As you can imagine, it is one of my favorite spots!!! :)
ReplyDeleteLuv and miss you.
Dearest Sarah . . . How we have missed you! A day without a Sarah Posting is a day without sunshine, a Thursday without whipped cream, a brother without attitude, a grandpa without at least one granddaughter. You have become such a young lady, adapting to everything (almost) in a foreign land. I hope you appreciate your mother, who planned this marvelous trip. I know whe loves having you to experience it with her. A lifetime of memories. Wish we could have been there.
ReplyDeleteCan you believe all you have seen while you have been in Israel???? It is all so awesome!!!!! It seems impossible that you did all those things in Jerusalem. I'm so glad you've been writing them down, because it will be so special to read about ALL these incredible memories you are making. And Miri is the BEST guide. She knows so much about all these places you been. You have less than a week left in Israel. And then your Daddy will join you for MORE fantastic adventures. WOW!!!! I'm heading off to New Buffalo, Michigan to spend a few days with my girlfriends. We're celebrating all our birthdays together. We've known each other since we were your age!!!!!!! I won't have my computer with me, so I'm not sure I'll be able to blog while I'm there. SO BEWARE, Grandpa will be writing for both of us! GULP! Just kidding! You can be certain, that we both miss you soooooo much. We miss our beautiful Sarah and her super handsome brother and her incredible Mom who has planned this entire spectacular experience. We LOVE you.
