JJ is ahead of me, I just snorkeled for my first time in Aqaba Jordan a few days ago, which was great fun. Have I seen Mother Mary!!!! Two days ago I was at the Church of the Dormition and also at Mary's Tomb, which are of course all about Mary. I'm not sure which of the 2 traditions are correct, it doesn't seem like they both can be, but both were lovely. If you want to see Mother Mary, however, I suggest going to the Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth where I was about 2 weeks ago!! Nations around the world have contributed mosaics which are displayed inside and outside the Basilica. Check out this link> http://www.biblewalks.com/Sites/AnnunciationMosaics.html<br />Of course Mary appears at all the sites in the Holy Land, and someday I will get around to writing several lengthy blog posts about my last 2 weeks in Israel and Jordan. When I got back to Heathrow yesterday my mum met me there, so the next couple weeks will be really busy teaching and trying to entertain her at the same time, so it may take a while for me to get around to blogging, but I have a lot to say!! Thanks for being my most faithful reader. Again, I would never have got this going without you. My love to all your family, cindy Tuisku's Teaching and Travel Tidbitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16174809447915115403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9029680572856529977.post-29117194384931680412013-04-11T22:15:20.988-07:002013-04-11T22:15:20.988-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tuisku's Teaching and Travel Tidbitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16174809447915115403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9029680572856529977.post-46708310061052476382013-04-08T10:57:53.526-07:002013-04-08T10:57:53.526-07:00Cindy,

(Yes, I have succumbed!) And while I sat here, I ended up reading ALL THE WAY back to your very first post. It was such a grand escape for me! I probably should have started from the beginning instead, but that was how it worked out. I had read most of the posts already, but it was such a treat to sit undisturbed and read them all again, look at the photos, and be absolutely transported. And while we still miss you here, I am so glad you are THERE so that I can live a bit of the traveling life as well! We did go to Maui during the February break which was wonderful. The kids had a great time. JJ was in the water constantly, loving to snorkel whenever he could. He and J.R. saw sea turtles too. That day, though, I was hanging on to the back of the boat throwing up! Lovely. As Sarah was leaving the boat, she told the captain that she was sorry that her mom threw up on his boat. I guarantee you that this story will be talked about until the day I die and then some! Enjoy more travels! Have you seen Mother Mary anywhere?MamaBee43https://www.blogger.com/profile/12849001988043028529noreply@blogger.com
