Arrived in Tel Aviv



We made it to the hostel in Tel Aviv by 2:00am this morning after a train ride from the airport and a taxi to the hostel. It is nice to be back in warmer weather near the beach. The beaches are reminding us of the beach area of Southern California. The weather is supposed to be good for the next couple days (about 70 degrees). We also went to the Chinese Embassy this morning (9:00am) and applied for visas. We were verbally approved for a visa by the guy in charge. It should be official tomorrow morning when we pick up the passports, stamped and approved. We made a new friend at the beach front kebab shop. We enjoyed a Gyro. Fresh bread baked on the roof of an oven then filled with turkey, hummus, a salsa like concoction and tomatoes. Good stuff. We hope to go back tomorrow and hang out with the guys and get more good food. Nice!

    Craig! You are soooo pretty! You shaved! :) Looking good! You two look so relaxed and happy. Glad you are safe in Israel. If you have a chance, call Grandma. She has people in Israel you guys can maybe stay with. Not sure where. The Gyro looks yummy! Wish I was there.

    Grandma's friends are in Tel Aviv. His name is Efraim Goldster. Grandma seems to think you can just look up their name and phone number...good luck with that. Efraim is with Jew for Jesus that Gma supports. She says if you are able to contact them, let them know you know Libby Rigby. She thinks they would let you stay with them. Just an FYI. We love you and are all praying for you two. xoxo as always and missing you two.
