Easter in jerusalem 2013 [see the SlideDeck]

Easter time in Jerusalem 2013.

Crowded then ever.

Special energy in the air.

A big Ethiopian group was visiting the Garden of Gethsemane , and at Mary’s Tomb the Armeniens had their daily service.

Along the Via Dolorosa various groups were walking in excitment, chanting and and praying at every one of the “stations of the Cross”, reaching eventually the Holy Sepulchre .

The next day I happened to be at the Baptism site , documenting Russians conducting baptismal rites.

The “Holy Land” definately deserves its title at times like these.

Danny, What a wonderful two days we had with you in the Galilee!! My 13 year old grandson now thinks he wants to be an archaeologist and my son-in-law now says he’s a “raging Zionist”

Dear Danny..

My wife, Beverly, and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Would repeat it instantly if that were possible.

I remain very interested in your Nilometer theory.

Best wishes,

David

RB Anderson, BAS tour 2012

Dear Anne Barasso,

Sorry to take so long to reply. Overwhelmed at the moment and I’m sure that happens sometimes at BAS. I would like to give this the time it deserves but I better get this off while I can. IT WAS GREAT! Would I take the trip again? Yes and I hope to travel with Danny Herman again.

Three things made this trip special: BAS, Danny Herman, and my fellow pilgrims. BAS opened doors at many places. The welcome we got was just remarkable. Other readers of BAR were excited to see us and show us what they were doing. Danny Herman opened doors and introduced us to folks we would not otherwise met. I also learned from my fellow travelers. I am an evangelical Christian and I am so glad that I did NOT go with just my own kind. I wanted to see from different eyes.

The trip was my 65 birthday gift to my self. I hope to take another BAS trip soon, perhaps to Turkey. For my 70th, I want to walk Joshua’s route and hope to get Danny Herman to help. Keep him. He’s great.

Thanks and as we say here, may God bless y’all real good.

Hi Danny,

We are back in Chicago safe and sound and I can’t stop thinking about our trip. It was truly fabulous.

I wanted to thank You once again for being such a wonderful guide and making our trip so meaningful. I now understand what they mean when they say the right guide can make the country come alive. I certainly experienced that. I have already told some friends about how terrific you were.

Stay safe and be happy. Again, thanks for everything.

Sincerely,

David
