It’s a Small World

We got the all clear at 3:00am and it lasted till late afternoon. That was blissful! We packed all our belongings, scrubbed and buffed the apartments and headed North. Is that stupid? Who knows. We don’t know anything anymore. The roads had a decent amount of cars on them, so that felt good.

We arrived at the Sea of Galilee in time to eat the bakery lunch we’d picked up on the way. It was a brilliantly clear day and the turquoise sea sparkled in the sunshine. All the churches were closed, but we stopped to see where the possessed pigs ran into the ocean, walked the trail along the shore that Jesus strolled so many times, and generally soaked up the beauty and tried to banish war from our minds. There were people out flying kites, some windsurfers skimming across the lake, and some of our crew ended up in the water as well.

The first warnings to get near a safe space came mid afternoon, and since there literally was no safe space nearby we ignored it. It must have been a minor threat, as pretty soon the all clear came again. Regardless, we eased back to the place on the Sea we had booked for the night. Maya Glamping or something. Not even sure what it’s called. All I know is it had a beach, it’s pretty and clean, there’s abundant water, air conditioning and cats. We had booked the tents originally, but they upgraded us to Villas. Feels a little better with a roof over our heads. There is also a bomb bunker where we can hunker if things get wooly. We are now directly under the path of a lot of the missiles, so it feels good to know we have a place to go.

Heath and I did a food run while the rest swam and rested and who knows what. We ate our Combat Wiener Nachos outside and thoroughly enjoyed every bite. Follow me for more recipes. Hey, when you don’t have many options, creativity is the key. We also had fruit and ice cream, so fear not. It was well rounded out.

The first rockets sailed over shortly after nine and the littles holed up in the shelter. The rest of us watched amazed at the show. It’s fascinating watching how the interceptions work. The seeking, exploding and tracking. Its darker here than at Abu Dis, and also closer to the path of the projectiles, so it looked a little more intense. Didn’t last so long tho, probably only 20 minutes or so before we got the all clear and could settle down and proceed to discuss ways to get home.

Yup, our flights have been cancelled. We may do a reverse Exodus and head to Egypt. We’ll see. Isn’t that was people always had to do in Bible times? Flee to Egypt?

Here’s hoping that the night is uninterrupted!
