This is really difficult; first of all, my limited vocabulary has been reduced to on
e word: WOW!!!!! REALLY, that’s all I was able to utter between weeping!
Rome was wonderful, Greece better than before and Turkey I just love…there is NO way to explain Israel and Egypt, you have to experience it! You’re in the Holy Land, walking where Jesus walked, lived, preached, was crusified, and your overwhelmed just by being in these places, BUT the wars, the conflicts, the hatred, the mistrust, it’s indescribable.
And there’s the filth, the trash everywhere, the children begging, the little kids swimming in such conditions, actually in waters (the Nile) with dead horses right beside them. The streets of Cairo where there’s horses, camels, donkeys, buses and cars all side by side in streets that are so congested you think no one could ever get through and somehow it all
moves.
Guys this trip has been soooooooo special in so many ways, filled with such emotion I can’t really explain, and such sadness………everyone of us should experience these places and realize how lucky we truly are!
I am homesick, I miss you all sooooooo much, I can’t wait to catch up with everyone and hug you all real tight! Don’t misunderstand, this has been a GREAT cruise, the ship is probably the best ever, and the staff fabulous. Our tablemates are great and we are looking forward to sailing with then again as we have and will again with Bob and Shelia.
We have experienced places way beyond our wildest dreams! A trip of a lifetime, we are sooooooo blessed!
So, sweet dreams give each other hugs from us and know how much you are all loved and appreciated!
Love, Gram, Mom, Aunt Barb, me
