Arrived at Ben Gurion International Airport and transferred by bus to our hotel in Jerusalem, The King David. During our afternoon on our own, we took the time to revitalize ourselves after our journey by taking a quick shower and joining in on a 1 hour tour of the historic hotel.

Bathroom with double sinks and huge vanity
Our room is lovely and spacious. Bathroom has both tub and separate shower. And is roomy enough for the two of us. Large windows with a small balcony overlooking the grounds provide a lot of natural light. The high coffered ceilings add drama and make the room feel more spacious. We have a wall of closets and shelves to store our clothing, far more than we need. We also have two comfortable lounge chairs in our room – and, if we were so inclined we have enough floor space to dance. Upon check-in, there was a bit of a hiccup – our keys didn’t work, but it was easy enough to get a new set.

It had great views of old Jerusalem, a conference room, an entire room for a treadmill, a living room, a bedroom, and a his and her bathrooms!

We visited the Reading Room where the table is kept upon which the accord was signed. We climbed up to the roof to check out the old city walls and the scenery. After a short break, we met the other group members and walked to a nearby restaurant Deja Bu for dinner. It was good time to get acquainted and enjoy a meal. On the way back to our hotel, I snapped a photo of Jerusalem’s YMCA. The to bed, since tomorrow starts at 7 am!
