What will be the reality of this trip?

Holy Land Travels by Stephoni

Hmm... A trip to the Holy Land. When I tell people I am going the reactions are varied. Is it safe? What are you going to see there? I keep wondering what this trip will be like. Will it be touristy? Will I 'feel' anything spiritual? Will I meet anyone who is real? I have no idea what my Isreal-ity will be -- but I am open.

Crossing the Jordan

You know, it is still a big deal to cross the Jordan River. And I wonder if it isn't a bit of a metaphor of struggles or accomplishments in my own life. Hmmm.....interesting thought.

So we went through a Jordan check point and crossed the Hussain Bridge only to get to the other side and find out the Israelis had another name for the same bridge. TWO more check points and two passport checks later - including a guy in jeans and a t-shirt with an AK47 who stood on our bus and looked us over and hummed while an agent walked to the back and questioned people - we were allowed into Israel.
