Last week Chris and I took our first cold-weather holiday . . . to Iceland. Not being skiers, we realized this was very different for us, as we packed plenty of clothes to layer against the cold and snow. We also made sure to pack our camera equipment in hopes of catching the Northern Lights. [...]

Day 5 – Western Wall We had a peek at the Western Wall as we were going to the Muslim side of the Temple Mount the day before, but it was a different experience being down near the Wall amongst everyone. Steven showed us the preparations involved in approaching the Wall – the washing and [...]

Day 3 – Jordan River Our first stop for the day was the Jordan River. Driving here was a little unnerving as we had to drive through a heavily mined area – there were signs all over warning of the danger! Then scout vehicles going back and forth sweeping for tracks. Once we got to [...]
