Lots of snow in Jerusalem! It is a riot here. All the kids are outside making snowmen and having snowball fights. We have about three inches and it is pretty funny to see snow on the palm trees. Jerusalem looks different than anytime I've been here before. Everyone has great attitudes and we are now going to Yad Vashim as a change of plans. Then on to the Garden Tomb and Garden of Gethsemane-should be interesting covered in snow. We already had communion at the hotel. Dad loves the snow as many of you know and he's turning all of this into an adventure. He's really planned a great trip this year and Dan and Aimee have done a great job as well. We're going home today. The snow is only here and not in Tel Aviv so we should have no problem getting home. It is always sad to leave this holy city.
