Arrived! First Few Hours

Without any complications in our flight from Kennedy Airport to Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, we came into the area of the airport from customs to see Ephraim & Rimona Frank waving their hands to attract our attention. Jan's first impression was: Home! I am so comfortable in this land and its people.

The drive to the Frank's home was full of conversation, so I wasn't aware of the time it took. They have guests staying at their house, Karen and Bob from Gainesville, Florida, and they greeted us warmly as well. We remember meeting Karen once before in Aqaba, when she was visiting! Rimona and Karen busily prepare a wonderful lunch.


I'm taking pictures of the Sukkah in the backyard and of our group. We were taken over to Michal and Steve Kramer, our hosts for the next two nights, neighbors of the Franks. Delightful couple, our age with grown boys, Americans who have lived here for the past 20 years. Thus ended our first day in The Land.
