| Rose in Israel May 12-22, 2002 |
|
| Rose Casazza, Eric's Mom, went on a group tour
to Israel during a time when it was not popular with the average
tourist. The hotel where they stayed had been closed, but reopened
just for that tour group.
Israel rolled out the red carpet for them and they had a fantastic
trip. Here are a few of the highlights that Rose shared with me. |
