London, England

It wasn't part of our itinerary but here we are in Heathrow Airport, London, England because Lufhansa cancelled our flight to Tel Aviv when some of their employees went on strike - just as we were about to board our plane in Portland.  This alternative route includes a 12 hour layover.  We won't miss any of our tour, only the sleep the night before.  Several of our group chose to head downtown and tour the city.  Others are sitting around trying to get the sleep we're missing.  Life is good and the stomach is full.
