At Ben Gurion airport

We are sitting at Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv waiting for our flight.  Airport security was easy and we have about two hours to wait for our flight.  We have had an interesting last week in Nazareth.  We went somewhere every night except Friday, either for ice cream or for dinner.  On Monday we were upstairs in our building for ice cream with a couple from Canada.  Then on Tuesday we went to visit Afif and Mimi, our first friends in Nazareth when we started coming here ten years ago.
On Wednesday we went to the home of Morag's co-worker, Adel, and had a great evening.  We go to visit them once every time we come to Israel.   Thursday we went to the home of Morag's other co-worker, Moin, and were entertained by their son who is a professional musician.  He plays the lute and did a rendition of Malaguena, which was really something to hear.  He also played one of his own compositions, which was a classical type of music.  The young man is a very famous musician in Israel and is known throughout the middle east.
Friday night we had the two Canadian couples in to our flat for dessert.  One of these couples left on Sunday so we said goodbye to them later the next day.

Sunday we had to bid farewell to our friends at Good Shepherd Baptist Church in Nazareth in the morning and then to our friends from Cana Baptist Church in the evening.  These were sad times for us because we have no guarantee that we will see them again this side of glory.  We were all sad to say farewell.  This year we have become closer to them than ever before.

I hope you have not been too bored reading our blogs.  We are looking forward to seeing family and friends soon.
