Waking up this early morning in Israel, our last full day, I have my first bout of sickness...not bad, just sinus "stuff". I certainly must give a shout out to my sister in law Christie Sharp for sharing a supply of Z Pac. Between that and Elizabeth painting a picture on my throat, nose and chest with Vicks, I believe I will be OK.

We have a full day today, only to rest at 4PM for a quick shower an  then straight to Tel Aviv to catch a 9 AM flight.

Today we will be walking the The Via Dolorosa , Latin for "Way of Grief" or "Way of Suffering". It is a path within the Old City of Jerusalem. History has it to be the path that Jesus walked carrying his cross as he climbed the salvific way to his crucifixion. The winding route from the Antonia Fortress west to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre — a distance of about 2,000 feet. Today we will follow it and celebrate the ending of our pilgrimage.

This trip has been a life changing experience for me. I will never read God's word the same. It has assisted me with biblical geography, New Testament philosophy and world religion.

The photo included was probably my favorite breakfast, a fresh cinnamon roll and a doppio expresso.
