We arrived home somewhat exhausted and we’re still getting up very early trying to get our internal clock on east coast time.<\/p>\n

This trip was all about religious history and the 4000 year history of Egypt, with a spattering of political history and events.<\/p>\n

We had two excellent<\/em> guides, in Israel it was Michel Granot, and in Egypt is was Maged (Magic) Salib. \u00a0Both guides were excellent, Michel was a free spirit and held very interesting opinions about the history of Israel, but she was very informative and knew her history. \u00a0Magic had more information in his head that most of the books written about the subject than one could imagine. Both guides made the trip a pleasure to be on and both were fun individuals as well as helpful and kept an eye on everyone all the time, an some really needed to be watch!<\/p>\n

We were exposed to many variations of falafels including both meat Balls and fish balls rolled in chickpea flour and fried, kabobs were very popular and the one are they excelled was when some thing was grilled.<\/p>\n
