I told you I'm slow.... Day 1 in Israel

(click to enlarge)

Here is some pictures of Day 1 of our travels.
We had a 8+ hour layover in Atlanta and a very nice southern gentleman that I work with offered to take us around Atlanta for a few hours to break up the wait. We went to the Varsity for lunch (Mom said it was the best grease she ever ate). Then we went to the World of Coke... very cool place.
Then it was on the flight for 10+ hours... it wasn't as bad as we were imagining, room to move around and stuff to do.
We arrived just after sunset and headed south to drove thru the town of Joppa where Jonah was eaten by the whale. Then it was back north of Tel Aviv to Netanya - a little coastal town, to check into our hotel for the night.... we couldn't complain about the ocean view - Amazing! You forget how much you miss the ocean when it's over 12 hours away.
