Looking for Moses: The Limtiacos: Israel

The Limtiacos came for a two week visit recently. Toting along with Tommy and Aulii were their two little girls Sophie and Isla. Sophie and Atom became fast buddies as they bonded over movies on the iPad. She also introduced him to the lollipop. It is now the best tool to bribe him with. Isla is adorable and so easy to take care of, she can often be forgotten about. (This happened many times during the trip.)

Though their trip was not as packed as the twin's visit a few months ago, they did get to see quite a few places. It would have been more if not for the extreme heat. Summer is not the best time to tour Israel. Here's a short recap of their trip in Israel.

Day 1: Arrive in Israel. Welcomed with some tasty steaks not cooked medium well.
Day 2: Toured Neve Tzedek neighborhood. That's the historical neighborhood we live in.
Day 3: Caesarea. Sophie didn't care about the ruins, only about the popsicle they sold in the park shop. Atom didn't care for his car seat, so he threw up on Jana.
Day 4: Nazarath. Visited Church of the Annunciation. Jana was asked if she was "normal" for trying to bring in Pali to the church
Day 5: Rosh Pina and Sea of Galilee. Effort to follow Jesus's footsteps in 100 degree heat failed. The hotel pool was the preferred option.
Day 6: Akko. Somehow Pali was allowed to tour the Crusader's citadel.
Day 7: Tel Aviv. Carmel Market. Aulii paid 11 shekels for bananas when Jana said to not pay more than 10.
Day 8: Jerusalem Old City. Aulii and Tom toured the old City and Isla had her first solid food: hummus!
Day 9-12: Istanbul
Day 13: Recuperated in Tel Aviv
Day 14: Flight back to the US. Ask Tom and Aulii about their flight experience.
