We have arrived safely in Paris after an easy flight from Boston. It's cold here and still very dark despite being almost 8 am--the French seem to like the moody nighttime a great deal. Because we flew into the city in fog, we couldn't see much, which was a minor disappointment. However, all of the duty-free shops in the Charles de Gaulle airport have thrilled and amazed us. Plus, we're all wired after the strong French coffee we enjoyed on the plane with our festive breakfast.
We board our plane to Tel Aviv in about an hour and will have a few more hours in the air until we are in Israel. Once on the ground there, we will travel by bus to Jerusalem, where we'll be staying for the next few days and nights. We will post another entry once in Israel, so check in later in the day. This evening, we will celebrate the New Year in the heart of Jerusalem. Simply unbelievable!
May you enjoy this last day of 2010!
Peace,
