Hi Fran, I put them on the Wall on Sunday, Dec. 23, at approximately 10 AM Jerusalem time. Jerusalem is 7 hrs ahead of NY, if that helps ( I know you're across the pond).

Jerusalem is really a cool place. In a small area, you hear the sound of the call for the Muslims to go their way, while the Orhtodox Jews are scurrying their way, and people are lined up to get a glimpse inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchure. It's all so confusing and interesting and mishy-moshy that our tour guide would call it the Muddle East. Touching the Wall, well, it DID feel spiritual. Jerusalem is hard on ankles, though...there is stone everywhere, everything is cream colored limestone.

Anyway, glad you're having more peace of mind, Fran.
