A Little Story of Israel

End of May 2022 and beginning of June 2022 Richard went to Israel with his youngest son Jake. While in Israel they saw so many cool things and got to experience some fun things. Swimming in the Dead Sea, riding camels, seeing the tomb where Jesus was, and seeing so many historical places made the two week trip go by so quickly. Coming home was a little eventful. A few days before the group was scheduled to come home they took covid tests in order to come back to the States. Half the group tested positive! Jake was one to test positive and had to stay an extra week before leaving. Richard was able to come home a few days early and never did get covid.

These pictures are ones Richard took, there's not any specific story or fact with each one but shows a little bit of what his trip entailed.
