Israel by Leiah

Today on the way home from rafting on the Jordan, I crowned the day officially Good Day when I saw the fighter jets flying over the Jezreel valley. They reminded me of a bird I saw from the raft. In Hebrew it is called a Si-Si (because of the noise it makes); in English it is a Swift. Swifts live all over the world and are very social. They also spend almost all of their lives flying - they even eat "on the fly". Even though they are always on the move, they like to be with other birds - kind of like people today.
