Not quite the road to Damascus, but it'll have to suffice. Today was pure travel -- no pics, sorry. Up early in Addis Ababa, head to the airport. Wickedly thorough security <sigh>. Then we fly to Lanarca, Cyprus! where we deplane and let the Cypriots inspect the hell out of our plane before it can continue to Israel. Apparently the Israelis don't trust us, or the Ethiopian security -- who knows. But we survive that, and land in Tel Aviv where we actually had a pretty easy time going through immigration. We had heard horror stories. Drive by bus an hour to Jerusalem, and here we are at the King David hotel with a great view of the Old City. Tomorrow we tour the Old City and all the famous places (check back tomorrow) and then Monday we tour first Bethlehem and then the Israeli Knesset. Pretty cool itinerary. But now: time for sleep.
