Our last day in Israel was a happy whirlwind of activity. In the morning, we met Dee and Lou, old friends of the Steuerman family, for a delicious brunch of quiches, salads and homemade banana bread. My favorite part were the baked apples and pears. Dee filled them with cranberries and I can't wait to try the recipe for Thanksgiving!
I then met up with a Diamond family friend, Tyson Herberger, and his wife Rebekka. We poked around pottery shops, visited the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and enjoyed catching up. Tyson graciously steered the stroller through the bumpy walkways, though Elijah eventually got overtired and soon became cranky. A week of traveling had finally caught up and he was a sad little camper. Thankfully, Amiel arrived and was able to calm him down long enough to be slipped back into the stroller (where he promptly fell back asleep). We then snacked on bageleh (a doughy ring of bread which Amiel loves) and falafel before going to visit the Kotel. 
That night, we celebrate Matan's 27th birthday and Tchelet's 24th birthday.
After dinner, we watched a movie (much of it was in Arabic and everyone had to translate the Hebrew subtitles for me) before saying our goodbyes. We left for Tel Aviv at 1:30 am and boarded our plane to Madrid a few hours later.
To our Israeli family and friends, thank you for making this such a special trip!! We can't wait to visit again!
