On an adventure


Jaffa Israel

     The last few days have been very busy getting ready for our trip to Israel. My cousin is getting married and we are going to be there under the Chuppa with her. All Jewish Israeli weddings are orthodox in nature, so there will be a great deal of tradition. However, we hear that Israelis love to party, so this should be fun.
     The festivities take place in the old city of Jaffa. Remember the story about Andromeda and Perseus? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andromeda_(mythology)
 Perseus saved her from the sea monster in Old                       
 Jaffa. The city, as with all of Israel is steeped in myth and history.


      Stay tuned for blogs from Israel.
