What I Did on My Chirstmas Vacation

I guess it's PC to call it "Winter Break" but I don't like how it sounds. Regardless, my holiday was spent in Israel with my family (see previous entry for cast and photos). We spent about a week touring the country with a guide, then a few days with friends and family. My expectations were exceeded, though it should be obvious by now that my parents know how to plan a good vacation. There was the right mix of hiking, history, and heritage, as well as some time to relax.

I don't know what to write. I don't want to go through a detailed description of everyday. It would take forever. And I'm feeling so lazy with the dreary, grey, windy, stormy weather. But I'll try. We started with a few days in Jerusalem, then to the Dead Sea for a day, followed by a few days in the North, saw some family, then went to Tel Aviv. Ruth, Vince, and the Kid left New Year's Day, Mom and Dad to follow two days later, then I spent my last two days scuba diving in Eilat before returning to Holland on Jan 5th.

This is horrible. It's boring. Maybe I'll just post my journals in a few days, after they are reviewed by my Spanish tutor...
