So, we are here in Tel Aviv! We landed safely at 10 am New York time, 5PM Tel Aviv time. The flights were both pretty smooth. The flight from new york felt a little crowded, and lasted roughly six hours. As we were preparing to land in London the captain announced that we would be delayed a bit because there was some snow on the ground in London. Apparently even just a half inch of slush brings London to a screeching halt! We were delayed about 30 minutes. This worried us a bit because our connecting flight from London to Tel Aviv was just an hour and a half later. We rushed through customs and security only to find that our connecting flight was delayed two hours. This was a welcome slow down because it gave us a chance to relax in the airport and get an espresso. The next flight was much less crowded than the first, almost all of us had our own row!
Fr. Peter greeted us at the airport in Tel Aviv, he was our welcoming party. From the airport we went directly to the shrine of Our Lady of Palestine where Fr. Peter celebrated the Holy Mass for us. Following the Mass we came to our hotel to check in and have dinner. The food let something to be desired… but then again, we didn’t come to the Holy Land for the food!
Thanks for reading, keep praying for us. Tomorrow we head to Jaffa and the Gallilee, we will have Mass at Mt. Carmel too.
Peace.
