Israel Trip 2026 Diary Part 4

I am now up to Thursday, April 9 in my trip diary! Thanks for following along. It was the day after Passover which meant eating was back to normal – and since we now had a ceasefire, everything else was back to normal too. Everything opened up, kids went back to school, the streets were full again, and Dave really wanted to go to the Western Wall (Kotel), so that’s where we headed first. Zachary was there ahead of us – I think because he went to his dorm to work on packing up since they were moving in a few more days.

Go To Lunches

Welcome to the Share Our Lives link up hosted by myself, Adrienne, Jen, and Joanne! We are sharing our lives this year on the second Monday of each month, and this month’s prompt is Go To Lunches (on the go). Since I very rarely eat lunch on the go, I’m just going to share some of my go to lunches. Which is honestly not so easy, since I rarely can think of what to eat for lunch!
