Final Dinner


We left Ein Karem for a typical Israeli dinner in a Jewish neighborhood near our hotel. First comes the various salads including beets, hummus, cabbage, olives, eggplant, etc served with pita bread. Then came the fallafel and finally the meat - kabobs of chicken, beef and lamb (no pork of course!). For dessert, baklava.

Our tour guide, Dave, was joined by his wife and the director of Regina Tours, Benji. He encouraged us all to return and bring some friends. The group presented Deacon Jerry & his wife, Carole, with an olive wood carving of the Holy Family since this is the year of the family. There was much to be thankful for... but some people were anxious to start on the packing.
