We have reinstated our blog because we are going abroad once more. We leave October 2010 and will be traveling through 55 countries on one motorcycle for 20 months. We hope that in setting up our blog we can get advice about the places others have been.

Pictures


This is a picture of us with all our vitality before the 20 hour precession of flights. (5 in the morning)






Here we are boarding the Lufthansa 777 flight from Frankfurt Germany to Tel Aviv Israel. Here is where we started to feel sick.
We were crammed into this plane with a lot of Jews on their way to Jerusalem. They wore what looked like electricians tape wrapped around their arms with little boxes connected that were stuck to their foreheads. I think the boxes contain the ten commandments and other Jewish laws. They also would distinguishably grow out the hair above their ears and nervously curl it as they waited in lines and sat on the plane.



Here is a viewing point in the old town Jaffa (South Tel Aviv, where Solomon shipped the grand cedars from Lebanon to build the temple in Jerusalem) which overlooks some of the beautiful Mediterranean coastline.




More Tel Aviv
This is an ally in Jaffa.

More winding ally ways.

View from the ally to the bell tower.

This is one of the richest neighborhoods in Tel Aviv.



Down town night life on Dizenghoff street in the main shopping district. This is where we ate the best falafel and drank fresh squeezed pomegranate and orange juice.





Blurry night shot of the beach in Tel Aviv.





Entry way to Old Jerusalem at the Damascus Gate, right across the street from our hostel.
Here is the Western Wall, we will expound upon this later once we have more time to walk around it. Currently the Muslim quarter is open to tourist so we will be visiting the Dome of the Rock where the Holy of Holy's is located this Sunday.

This is a shot of the Jewish quarter.

Here is some archaeological work that is underway. This is being dug out in the middle of the walk way.
