It's now Monday morning in Beersheba (or Beersheva). About time for breakfast. Yesterday after our worship time in the morning we went to Tel Beersheba, a very fascinating "dig". We have a nice selection of pix so might present them sometime. We also found a grocery store. This far south as I mentioned before there much less English so shopping was quite the experience. Although "Pringles" still look like "Pringles" :). But the cucomber chips didn't turn out quite like Costco ... very "dill". Anyway it allowed us to make pita's for supper instead of eating out. Today we leave for Eilat, Lord willing.

And by the way, also on Sunday afternoon/evening we visited 2 WWI memorials in Beersheba: one to Turkish soldiers who died in the area, the other to the Australian Light Horse Brigade who killed them in the process of liberating Palestine from the Ottoman empire after the Turks had joined up with the Germans. It happened Oct 31, 1917, so there were wreaths at both places. And we rode the elevator with people who were here from Aus/New Zealand to celebrate and have pix of their wreath at the Aus memorial.
