Dave’s Blog
As a tour guide, I have the opportunity to visit and experience new sites and activities that develop in Israel.
I get to experience new places firsthand, and then determine which new site or activity would be appropriate for you.
You get to share this experience with me by reading my blog, and learn about new places, new developments,
current events and more.
Hopefully, this blog will educate you about Israel
and whet your appetite for your next visit- with me!
Read the blog. Share the experience. I welcome your feedback!
