Day Seven

Well after a special night last night, it was a slower pace today. We were able to have a sleep in till about 8.

We went to 10 o'clock mass in the Basilica for the last time. We just sat and appreciated the beauty of it all.

After mass we went with Rana, Amir, George, Clara, Maria & Yousef to have lunch/diner(a feast actually) with Rana's family. It was a great day,Nick played with the kids and it was great fit him to do normal kid stuff. He was trying to teach the kids Aussie Rules.

Where we had our BBQ was only about 10km from the Lebanon, Syrian border!! The mountain range in the photo below is the part of the border. Just as well all is quiet on the western front today!

Tomorrow we head to Jerulsalem for two nights. We are looking forward to going there.
