In Eilat

I have spent the weekend in Eilat in the south of Israel. It is actually located where Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt meet.

There is a good possibility that Eilat will not be on the intinerary for those of you that choose to go to Israel with Ben next November. But I will mention it for two reasons:

1) In Jerusalem the last two days it has been rainy and cold. Here in Eilat it has been 27 and sunny. It is a resort destination so you may want to add a few extra days onto your trip and visit Eilat just to enjoy the warm temperatures and sunshine.

2) I have seen some things that pertain to Christianity. I was in the Negev desert where Abraham was. In that desert is the plant from which they made the crown of thorns that Jesus was forced to wear which I saw. Also we are situated on the Red Sea and near Mount Sinai which are both important in Moses' stories in the Bible.

Until next time, stay warm.
