After the jam packed day yesterday, we slept in a bit today. The weather forecast was once again hot (it was 80 by 10 AM!) but it was overcast and felt like rain. We finally got going and we were off to the Israel Museum - about a 35 minute walk from our hotel. Did we mention Jerusalem isn't flat? Well it sure wasn't flat on the way to the museums today either! The city was so quiet today. It was very different than the first two days. Very few businesse...

What a full day we had today! We started with a breakfast at our hotel. When we got downstairs our guide, Madeleine was already waiting for us! We had a quick bite and chatted while we were eating. She had found our blog, which is how she knew what we looked like when we came downstairs. So we talked a little about travel and our plan for the day. The day was already getting hot, in the low 70's with the high supposed to get to about 80. We would be walkin...

During the mountain portion of the ride we followed a river from Zermatt all the way to the bottom. There were so many neat little farms with ...

Kevin's Day Three days of skiing gets tiresome so Jason and I weren't as quick out the door this morning. It also snowed all evening and was still snowing in the morning so many of the lifts were closed to start the day. After a long breakfast, we finally headed out the door. Our goal was to cover as much mountain as possible while also exploring the many areas we hadn't skied. We started off the same way we did the first day, skiing through town to the bu...
