Chronology
Some of the entries were posted while we were on the trip, others are being added now that we're back. The Contents tab lists entries in chronological order of events, so that you can follow the trip through from start to finish, if you are so inclined.

Posts
The posts we sent up whilst we were in Israel were all based on photos taken with my mobile phone, which appeared to be the most convenient way to get it started. I sent these up from the phone to the Flickr photo site when we were somewhere with a Wifi connection, and added a brief comment. When I could get a few minutes on a computer I sent these Flickr pictures across to become posts in this blog. Now we're back we are gradually expanding and developing these posts, and adding other topics that didn't get posted at the time - sometimes because I just forgot to get the mobile out to take a quick snap!Links
Most of the posts have (or will have . . . ) links to a slideshow of the relevant set of our photos on Flickr, and to anything that crops up in the post that we think might be worth linking to.Photos
We're currently busily sorting through and editing the photos we took on our cameras, and uploading them to Flickr. Mine can be seen in this Merkavah 09 Collection - click on a thumbnail to see the photos in that particular set. The link on a blog photo, or on the word 'Slideshow', will take you straight to a slideshow of that set of photos - you can click on a link from there to take you to the individual photos.Videos
We both shot a number of video clips, particularly of dances, and these will eventually find their way online, probably on YouTube; some may also appear here in the blog.
