On 25 May, my niece Abbey — daughter of Sean and Betty, West Chester, PA — wrote,

Hi everybody!!!
I’m leaving in about 45 minutes for the airport and I wanted to send you all the blog for my trip in case your interested on updates (it’s written by one of our professors going along with us). We’re flying today to Zurich — get to spend the day biking around — then we’re off to Israel! I’m SO excited and a bit nervous — please keep the group in your prayers! I hope you all have wonderful summers! When I have time, I will hopefully be sending mini-updates.
Love you all : )

Evan and Kristin did Wheaton in the Holy Lands in 2006. I’m going to follow Abbey and her group.
