Yet another wonder day of traveling. In the morning we had just a little rain but by the afternoon nothing but beautiful blue skies and sun. Everyone is doing well! Dr. Harter is great and leading the tour like it is his first! He loves this counrty and most of all, sharing it with others.

Shalom- IAN
